Why?

Strongest counted support: Secondary coverage reports strongest results at 100–300 metres and cautions that wider Maya Forest generalization requires larger study areas. weight 2.000000 evidence

Suppressed as dependent: The excerpt directly reports strongest results at 100–300 metres and says a larger study is needed to test extension across the wider Maya Forest.

Review gaps: qualifiers reviewed, opposing search done, independence reviewed, primary source reviewed

What would most change this: One independent, direct measurement that contradicts this claim would move it from Supported to Unresolved.

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
