Analysis of the factors related with mate choice and reproductive success in male three‐spined sticklebacks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Territorial three‐spined sticklebacks moved 5·3 times as far as non‐territorial males in 2 min ( P < 0·001) and spent 11·1 times longer in aggression in the pools ( P < 0·001). Territorial males had slightly higher condition factors than non‐territorial males. Condition factor was correlated positively with the gonad mass ( P < 0·006), carotenoid concentration ( P < 0·006) and the activity of CS in the axial muscle ( P < 0·05) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in pectoral muscle ( P < 0·003). The male traits best correlated positively with female mate choice were courtship effort ( P < 0·001), coloration ( P < 0·003) and initial condition ( P < 0·025). Courtship behaviour was related to intestine mass ( P < 0·018), axial ( P < 0·028) and pectoral muscle citrate synthase (CS) activity ( P < 0·047); coloration was related to gonad mass ( P < 0·037). These muscle enzymes may be involved in ATP generation for sustained activities or in recuperation between bouts of burst activity. Females that choose to mate with assiduously courting males which bear higher CS levels may be choosing individuals that show honestly their good condition and capacity to accomplish reproductive tasks.

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.
