Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Field experiments with hatchling green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) show that a positive phototropotaxis will account for many aspects of their ability to find the sea after emerging from the nest. The tropotactic reaction is discussed with respect to retino-tectal projections in reptiles and it is suggested that visual stimulation of one eye may initiate both ipsilateral and contralateral turning tendencies, depending on which part of the retina is stimulated. The influence of the sun''s position and the effects of varying the spectral composition of light stimuli are outlined. Some complexities in experiments on the responses to light of frogs (Rana temporaria) and freshwater turtles (Pseudemys scripta elegans) are reported, and it is concluded that for correlating behaviour with physiological mechanisms a more dependable behaviour such as sea-finding in marine turtles offers some advantages.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
