Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Smooth-billed Ani (Crotophaga ani) is a plural-breeding, joint-nesting species that engages in both cooperation and reproductive competition. We report circumstantial evidence for infanticide of chicks by adults that joined a group after completion of the communal clutch. We provide evidence that some of the group adults captured after the infanticide were unrelated to any of the chicks and may have acted to increase chances of renesting.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
