Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We describe the occurrence and behavior of Razorbills (Alca torda) visiting Coats Island, Northern Hudson Bay, an area where sea-ice cover in summer has been much reduced since the mid-1990s. Coats Island is 300 km from the previous most-westerly breeding site for the species and nearly 2,000 km from the nearest large colony, in Newfoundland and Labrador. Razorbills appeared at Coats Island coincidentally with an increase in the delivery of Capelin (Mallotus villosus) and sand lance (Ammodytes spp.) to Thick-billed Murre (Uria lomvia) nestlings at the same site and disappeared when sand lance also disappeared. Razorbill populations are expanding in eastern North America, and this expansion may partly account for their dispersal. The ability of Razorbills to track changes in a preferred prey item well outside the boundary of their normal range suggests that this species is capable of adapting rapidly to climate change.

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.
