Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Pacific beetle cockroach, Diploptera punctata, feeds its embryos a milk-like protein secretion?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed and reference sources state that Diploptera punctata is viviparous and nourishes its developing embryos with a milk-like protein secretion produced in the brood sac. The claim is directly confirmed by these sources.
