Seasonal patterns and influence of temperature on the daily activity of the diurnal neotropical rodent Necromys lasiurus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigated the relation between temperature and diel activity patterns of Necromys lasiurus (Lund, 1841) in 10 sites of open vegetation (grassland fields) in the Cerrado (savanna-like vegetation) of central Brazil. We used live traps equipped with timing devices during two trapping sessions: in the end of the dry season (session 1, October 2001) and in the wet season (session 2, January–February 2002). Necromys lasiurus is basically a diurnal rodent with more pronounced crepuscular and nocturnal activity in the dry season than in the wet season. Only in the wet season did we detect significant between-gender differences, with males being less active than females in the first hours after sunrise but more active between 0900 and 1200. There was no significant activity–temperature relation in the dry season, but in the wet season, both genders showed a positive relation between ambient temperature and activity. Individuals might be avoiding hot midday hours in the end of the dry season to minimize time exposure to a physiologically stressful condition caused by the joint action of high temperatures and extremely low relative humidity (<15%). In the rainy season, the high relative humidity (80%–90%) might allow the animals to show a positive relation between activity and ambient temperature.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
