Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1822, 1834, 1996, 2011—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Pleurocera, catenaria and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pleurocera catenaria”, the useful work is to connect “species of mollusc” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q308577. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1822, 1834, 1996 and 2011.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
