Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Possible biases related to the use of recordings were assessed by comparing captures of Coal Tits Parus ater with mist nets in presence and absence of tape lures. Samples netted with and without tape lures differed in age composition but not in body size. Moreover, tape lured nets caught resident birds less frequently than expected. Group size of flocks captured with the use of recordings was larger than those captured without. Tape lured juveniles had higher levels of subcutaneous fat reserves than Coal Tits captured at random, whereas this difference was not detected in adults. Attraction of dispersing juveniles and habituation to the tape lure by more resident individuals seemed to explain the patterns observed. Caution and knowledge of the biases caused by decoys is recommended before designing bird population studies which rely on the capture of birds by this method.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
