Kept species with a positive Length, which these databases record in centimetres. Joined each species to its family for the class and, in SeaLifeBase, the phylum. Blooded species are those whose class is in the vertebrate list, including every FishBase class. Bloodless species are SeaLifeBase animals in an animal phylum whose class is not vertebrate. Algae, plants, bacteria and protists were left out. A species is sessile when its highest Sessile flag is 1 and its highest Mobile flag is not 1, and motile in the opposite case. The statistic is the median length of species on each side. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/Assessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment Measured: 6.1905 ratio of median vertebrate length to median invertebrate length (n = 46427). Interpretation: The quote is: Therefore, taking a general view, we may say that sanguinea are of greater size than bloodless animals, and those which move about than those which remain fixed. 'A general view' is read as a comparison of medians across species, not as every blooded individual exceeding every bloodless individual. Sanguinea are vertebrates. Bloodless animals are invertebrates. Size is adult body length, one value per species. Mass is not substituted unless length is absent, and then mass is used for both sides of a comparison. The denominator is the species in the fetched table. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Claim test of aristotle-ga02-02: mixed, confidence 0.61 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://github.com/fractastical/delphisci/blob/bf2af6ee0a84e23ffa6414ad7a0a50a8c276506e/test-data/claim-tests/aristotle-biology/aristotle-ga02-02/result.json https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/admissibleDatasets A public species-level table with one positive adult length per species and a code that separates vertebrates from invertebrates, plus a code that separates motile from sessile.

Each side needs at least 30 species. Both medians in the claimed direction support. One reversed median makes the verdict mixed.

Blooded means vertebrates. Bloodless means invertebrates. A comparison is scored when each side has at least 30 species with a positive adult body length in the same unit. Moving about means a species the source codes as motile, free-living or mobile. Fixed in place means a species the source codes as sessile, attached or sedentary. The claimed way is a higher median length on the blooded side than on the bloodless side, and a higher median length on the motile side than on the sessile side. https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/preregistered false https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/claim/aristotle-ga02-02 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasAssessment https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/assessment/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/description one maximum length per species, the class and phylum, and the sessile and mobile flags https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://purl.org/dc/terms/license CC BY-NC 4.0 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/EvidenceItem https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Dataset: FishBase and SeaLifeBase v25.04 species, family and ecology tables https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/raw/main/README.md https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/fb/v25.04/parquet/ecology.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/fb/v25.04/parquet/families.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/fb/v25.04/parquet/species.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/slb/v25.04/parquet/ecology.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/slb/v25.04/parquet/families.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#atLocation https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase/resolve/main/data/slb/v25.04/parquet/species.parquet https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasDerivedFrom https://huggingface.co/datasets/cboettig/fishbase https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:0152c9c26e7ecc13f9277a33e7519793dab26b9e7778722881f2f52fe24e9d44 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:02bfae694deed266250e58ecebf4b10af595178944c431612e865cb37dc563e4 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:19e41e810db0843dda11ac3f9b011ba92227b5d1b87c2885976c6376cfdc4e4d https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:1b491d68199df742a5c95a2def8ae80ddd5cdc91c3d950d6f9dde0ac1b24af0f https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:3f09bbb09c1c10219277f35b4f8c42aebedd5f1b8e00ebdfdeb0e16574b0e090 https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:edc9fc5c38950977173f8182fb5cdc69f94ed399573347d8ef91f61a287a380a https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/evidence/aristotle-ga02-02--claim-test--dataset-1 https://w3id.org/delphi/ontology/hasChecksum sha256:ee1088efa629eb16a7305031f97856c2ea1a75796d7e8a42749ba4e3d5c2b7fe https://w3id.org/np/RA6tkt-SBfs6RSP7g_GxjtnKTsdCD59rZ17qRsJ6Bmoa8/provenance https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#SoftwareAgent https://w3id.org/delphi/resource/agent/delphisci-claim-tester-grok-4-7 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label delphisci claim tester (Grok 4.7;
