Abstract
The jumping spider Habronattus dossenus Griswold 1987 (Salticidae) communicates using seismic signals during courtship and can be found on rocks, sand and leaf litter. We examined the filtering properties of, and tested the efficacy of male courtship signals on, these natural substrates. These substrates have drastically different filtering properties at the distances at which the males court. Rocks sharply attenuated all frequencies, with considerable variability among different rocks. Desert sand showed band-pass properties, attenuating frequencies contained in the animal's signal. Leaf litter passed all frequencies and was the most favourable signalling environment. In behavioural trials, the proportion of males mating successfully was significantly higher on leaf litter than on rocks or desert sand. Males did not modify their courtship behaviour on different substrates. Therefore, the effectiveness of male courtship seismic signals appears to be strongly constrained by the available substratum resources.

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 it
