At-sea behavior of juvenile male northern fur seals (<i>Callorhinus ursinus</i>)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The at-sea behavior of juvenile male northern fur seals, Callorhinus ursinus (L., 1758), captured at two haul-out sites on St. Paul Island, Alaska, during the 1999 and 2000 breeding seasons (July–September) was studied. To compare at-sea locations, dive behavior, and changes in body mass, 31 juveniles between the estimated ages of 3–6 years were captured, instrumented, and released. Individuals behaved like central-place foragers by making trips to sea and returning to the Pribilof Islands. Trip durations ranged between 8.74 and 29.81 d, whereas distances from departure site ranged between 171.27 and 680.68 km (maximum straight-line distance). Differences in maximum straight-line distance traveled and trip duration were not observed when comparing years or departure site. Diving tended to reflect patterns associated with different bathymetric domains; shallow nighttime diving was common in ~3000 m deep waters, whereas deeper diving was generally observed in <200 m deep waters. Proportion of body mass gained over a single trip to sea averaged 27.8% (range 3%–65%, n = 19). Mass gain was similar between individuals that dove in shallow waters (over the continental shelf; 10.9 ± 1.8 kg (mean ± 1 SE), n = 11) versus individuals that dove in pelagic waters (8.5 ± 1.0 kg, n = 8). These results demonstrate that the at-sea behavior of juvenile males can extend farther from the Pribilof Islands when compared with previous reports of parturient female at-sea behavior, thus revealing important variation within this species.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
