Primes

• Shadow Of The Future
  • … also appears non-deliberately in biology: vampire bats reciprocally share blood meals, sustained by repeated roost-mate encounters and individual recognition — genuine instances with evolutionary rather than designed expectations, the substrate-honest edge of a prime whose canonical home is strategic interaction.

    This sourceDocuments reciprocal blood-meal sharing among vampire bats sustained by repeated roost-mate encounters and individual recognition.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    The abstract confirms wild vampire bats share blood by regurgitation and that sharing tracks an index of opportunity for reciprocation, but it presents individual recognition only as a theoretical precondition, not a demonstrated mechanism.

    “Here, I show that food sharing by regurgitation of blood among wild vampire bats ( Desmodus rotundus ) depends equally and independently on degree of relatedness and an index of opportunity for recipro cation.”

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.
