Domain-specific

• Nest protection hypothesis
  • The nest protection hypothesis proposes that birds' addition of selected fresh green or aromatic plants to nests functions partly through plant secondary compounds that repel, inhibit, or otherwise reduce nest parasites or pathogens and improve conditions for nest occupants.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

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.
