As yet, little is known about patterns of oxygen availability and female brooding behavior (abdominal flapping) throughout development in brachyuran crabs, and about which factors trigger abdominal flapping. These issues were experimentally studied in 2 crab species of similar body size (Cancer setosus and Homalaspis plana). In addition, oxygen consumption of crab embryos and 2 potential factors that could trigger changes in female brooding behavior were studied (oxygen partial pressure and non-identified chemical cues produced by the embryos). Optic fibers were used to monitor oxygen partial pressure (pO2) in the embryo mass as female behavior was videotaped; optic fibers do not affect female behavior. Microchambers were used to determine oxygen consumption of the embryos. Females carrying early stage embryos connected to containers with water under different treatments were used to evaluate the effect of pO2 and chemical cues on female behavior. A cyclic pattern in pO2 was detected in masses of early stage embryos and constant high pO2 for late stages. As changes in pO2 in the embryo mass occurred, an increase in oxygen demand by the embryos and an increase in abdominal flapping frequency were detected in both species. Abdominal flapping seems to be affected by low pO2 in the embryo mass and also by the presence of late stage embryos. These results support previous findings suggesting that oxygen provision to embryos seems to be a critical factor determining parental investment across taxa of marine invertebrates.

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.
