Primes¶
- Starvation
- Education and credentialing — applicants who meet every criterion but are never the highest-priority candidate; the "always next year" pattern. Ecology and funding — subordinate animals perpetually excluded from feeding or mating by dominants with no formal exclusion; research lines perpetually ranked just below the funding line.
This sourceBehavioral-ecology evidence that dominant species/individuals secure priority access to a food source, leaving subordinates excluded with no formal exclusion rule.

Shows dominant bird species had preferential feeder access over subordinates; says nothing of perpetual exclusion, mating, or research funding lines.

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.
