Which sources back which section of this article, and what its evidence base looks like.
Which sources back which section
| Section | Sources behind it | Count |
|---|---|---|
| What happened | The Molecular Ecology transcriptome, read in full and searched; the Trends in Parasitology abstract; the Behavioral Ecology field study; the CBC report; the Merck Veterinary Manual entry. | 5 |
| Timeline | The transcriptome and the commentary; the field study; the PNAS clonemate paper; the 2017 host-identification paper; the micro-CT paper; the CBC report; the Beef Cattle Research Council sheet. | 8 |
| The argument | The field study, which supplies every number in it; the transcriptome and the Merck entry for the two other temperatures; the CBC report for the third. | 4 |
| What others add | The 2017 host paper, the PNAS clonemate paper and the micro-CT paper for the life cycle; the Beef Cattle Research Council sheet, the Merck entry and the Saskatchewan parasites entry for the veterinary figures; the field study for the second candidate molecule; the Drosophila receptor paper and the locust anoxic-coma paper for the third; the Lethbridge release. | 10 |
| Conclusion | The transcriptome; the field study; the CBC report. It introduces no source of its own and states no figure that is not above it. | 3 |
What the evidence base looks like
- 13Sources used on the page
- 8Of them peer-reviewed journal articles; seven report primary research and one is a commentary
- 7Read in full; the other six were read at their abstracts, and nothing is attributed to them beyond it
- 0Claims taken from the news coverage where a paper saying the same thing could be opened instead
| Function | How many | How they were read |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | 9 | Three in full — the transcriptome, the field study and the industry council’s own survey sheet. Six at their abstracts: the commentary, the clonemate paper, the host-identification paper, the micro-CT paper, and the two adenosine papers. |
| Reporting | 2 | Both in full — the CBC report and a university news release. Each is used for what somebody said out loud, never for a figure that a paper also carries. |
| Reference | 2 | Both in full — a veterinary manual entry with a named author, and a veterinary college’s teaching page with none. Neither cites a study for the temperature it gives, and the page says so where it uses one. |
