USE OF NEST BOXES BY GOLDENEYES IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We evaluated and monitored use of 105–133 nest boxes by Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula) and Barrow's Goldeneye (Bucephala islandica) during 1999–2004 on 60 lakes of high plateaus of the Laurentian Highlands, in the boreal forest of Québec, Canada. Only three species of birds used nest boxes regularly, American Kestrel (Falco sparverius), Barrow's Goldeneye, and Common Goldeneye. The proportion of nest boxes used by goldeneyes in 2000–2004 ranged from 23 to 43% whereas hatching success ranged from 37 to 67%. Successful Barrow's and Common goldeneye clutches averaged 6.76 ± 0.38 (SE, n = 29) and 7.77 ± 0.44 eggs (n = 31), respectively. Predation in nest boxes was not a major mortality factor. Goldeneyes used all nest boxes independent of their location but reproductive success was lower in nest boxes 25–160 m from shore in clearcuts. The number of Barrow's and Common goldeneye breeding pairs increased between 1999 and 2003, but number of broods remained stable after an increase in 2000.

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.
