Domain-specific

• Enemy release hypothesis
  • The comparative-parasite test of Torchin and colleagues (published in Nature, 2003)

    This sourceThe study reports that introduced populations had on average about half as many parasite species as native ones; the text checked does not show that this held consistently across every species.

    SupportedVerified against a saved copy of the source

    “To test whether introduced species are less parasitized, we have compared the parasites of exotic species in their native and introduced ranges, using 26 host species of molluscs, crustaceans, fishes, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. 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.
