Why this work is in the frame

A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

aboutThe title or abstract carries a Canadian signal from the geographic lexicon.

No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We compared the incubation behaviour of 1‐year‐old female Savannah Sparrows Passerculus sandwichensis nesting for the first time with that of older females that had nested in previous years on Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada. Using temperature probes inserted into 32 nests, we determined the length and variability of incubation shifts and recesses over 99 nest‐days. At 14 of the nests, known‐age females were matched, each pair consisting of an inexperienced yearling and an experienced older female, and nest temperatures were measured simultaneously. In addition, we quantified the duration of night‐time incubation and the mean length and variation of more than 1350 incubation shifts and recesses as a function of female age, weather, time of day and date. In all respects, yearling and older females had equivalent incubation behaviour. The similarity between yearlings and older females suggests that fundamental aspects of incubation behaviour may be largely innate and unaffected by prior reproductive experience or other age‐related variables.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
