Lindsay Oaks and colleagues' 2004 paper in Nature is peer-reviewed scientific research. Its strength is that it is the original study identifying diclofenac residues as the cause of the catastrophic vulture population decline in Pakistan, published in one of the most rigorously reviewed scientific journals in the world. Its limit is the ordinary one for a single study: its specific findings on Pakistan's vulture populations have since been extended and confirmed by further research across South Asia, which this citation alone does not cover.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (10 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Reliability tier 1: the original peer reviewed study in a leading scientific journal identifying the cause, later extended and confirmed by further research.NotesWell-attestedPeer-reviewed scientific study identifying diclofenac as the cause of vulture population decline in Pakistan, Nature, 2004.CitationAuthorWell-attestedJ.
