True metabolizable energy of American black duck foods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Understanding the true metabolizable energy (TME) of foods is critical to estimating the energetic carrying capacity of landscapes for migrating and wintering waterfowl. We estimated gross energy, nutrient composition, and TMEN (TME corrected for zero nitrogen balance) for 7 foods that are commonly found in the diet of American black duck (Anas rubripes) and other waterfowl wintering along the Atlantic Coast. TMEN values ( ± SE) were 3.66 ± 0.12 kcal/g for mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), 2.02 ± 0.12 kcal/g for grass shrimp (Palaemonetes intermedius, P. pugio, and P. vulgaris), 1.57 ± 0.11 kcal/g for fiddler crabs (Uca minax, U. pugilator, and U. pugnax), 1.42 ± 0.13 kcal/g for sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca), 1.39 ± 0.12 kcal/g for saltmarsh cordgrass seeds (Spartina alterniflora), 1.10 ± 0.14 kcal/g for widgeon grass vegetation (Ruppia maritima), and 0.77 ± 0.16 kcal/g for saltmarsh snails (Melampus bidentatus). TMEN estimated for foods in this study will assist conservation planners in carrying out bioenergetics modeling along the Atlantic Coast. © 2014 The Wildlife Society.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
