Primes¶
- Green-Beard Effect
- In evolutionary biology, the fire-ant Gp-9 system, slime-mould aggregation, yeast flocculation, and viral and microbial surface-tag cooperation instantiate the pattern at the chemosignal or molecular level.
This sourceDocuments the fire-ant Gp-9 locus as a green-beard gene linking a chemical phenotype to queen-execution behavior.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract documents the fire-ant Gp-9 green-beard gene and the odour cue workers use to identify queens, so it backs only the fire-ant conjunct of a sentence that also names slime moulds, yeast and microbial surface tags.
“This implies that allele Gp-9 b is linked to a green-beard allele that preferentially induces workers bearing the allele to kill all queens that do not bear it.”

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.
