Domain-specific¶
- Island Rule
- It operates through ordinary heritable variation in body size and natural selection, and the divergence can be quick: island populations show rates of morphological change up to about three times mainland rates over intervals running from a few decades to roughly twenty thousand years, while the largest transformations — the Sicilian elephants' fall to under a meter tall and less than one percent of ancestral body mass — took on the order of two to four hundred thousand years
This sourceThe rate measurements the sentence now states — insular morphological change up to about three times mainland rates over intervals from a few decades to roughly twenty thousand years, and the Sicilian elephants' fall to under a meter and less than one percent of ancestral body mass over 200,000 to 400,000 years; the paper measures tempo and does not separate heritable from plastic change.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
