Abstract
Contest winners may perform victory displays at the conclusion of agonistic contests. Victory displays are hypothesized to function in browbeating or advertisement. To date, victory displays have received little attention. Following agonistic contests, several field cricket species produce aggressive songs and shake their body forwards and backwards (body jerks). We examined 20 agonistic contests between field-captured adult male spring field crickets, Gryllus veletis . We characterized the aggressive songs and body jerks that occurred both during and immediately following conflicts to evaluate whether these behaviours should be classified as victory displays. Aggressive songs and body jerks were observed throughout the contests, not just immediately following the conclusion of the fight. Winner aggressive song and body jerk rates were higher during the post-conflict period than during the fight period. Further, while both winners and losers performed aggressive songs and body jerks, winners performed them at five times the rate of the losers during the post-conflict period. We conclude that aggressive songs and body jerks should be considered victory displays, and that these victory displays may function as both browbeating and advertisement.

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
