The Kingdom of the Blind: Disentangling Fundamental Drivers in the Evolution of Eye Loss
0 signed · 123 inferred · view as graph
Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not evidence of absence.
