Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Literature data for 19 populations from 16 different studies of six species of stream‐dwelling salmonids were analysed to test the hypothesis that density‐dependent growth is stronger at low rather than at high population density. Fifteen of 19 populations showed evidence of a significant decrease in growth rate with increasing density. In 11 of these 15 populations, the pattern of density‐dependent growth was better described by a negative power curve than by a linear regression ( i.e . Akaike Information Criterion, AIC linear − AIC power > 2), whereas only one population was better described by a linear regression than by a negative power curve; three populations were adequately described by both models ( AIC < 2). In 10 of the 11 populations that were best described by a negative power curve, most of the decrease in growth rate occurred at population densities <1 fish m −2 , when space limitation is unlikely. This analysis provides broad support for the hypothesis that density‐dependent growth in stream salmonids occurs primarily at low population densities, probably due to exploitative competition.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
