Abstract
Early male arrival at breeding sites, or protandry, is thought to have evolved from intrasexual competition among males for access to mates or breeding resources. Males of polygynous species tend to be larger than females and have exaggerated secondary sexual traits. Additionally, such species show a high degree of protandry, suggesting that timing of arrival is sexually selected. Species showing limited sexual dimorphism and showing sexual monochromatism may be expected to show limited early male arrival. However, there are very few studies of migration timing of the sexes in such species because individuals cannot be readily identified to sex in the hand. In this study, we genetically sexed birds and found no evidence for early male arrival, for a population of migratory Song Sparrows Melospiza melodia . For our study population, males and females display limited sexual size dimorphism and are sexually monochromatic which is characteristic of the species. Fat scores for males were inversely associated with timing of arrival, whereas for females, larger‐winged birds arrived sooner – suggesting that early migration timing may be selected for in both sexes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
