Abstract
Homing after experimental displacement is widespread among bony fishes but has only been documented in two species of elasmobranchs, lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris, and Port Jackson sharks, Heterodontus portusjacksoni. To test if a species of batoid was capable of homing, New Zealand eagle rays, Myliobatis tenuicaudatus, were experimentally displaced 1.3–9.4 km from the Whangateau Estuary, where they feed, rest and are protected from predators. Significantly more rays returned to the estuary than expected by chance (seven out of eleven rays). The present study demonstrated for the first time that rays are capable of homing after experimental displacement. Homing success was not predicted by day or night capture, displacement distance, ray size, water depth at the displacement site or time in captivity. The homing rates and speeds of the rays were lower than those recorded for sharks, possibly due to a disparity in motivation and behavioural differences. Analysis of active tracks for associations with potential navigational stimuli may indicate which stimuli the rays use to home.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
