Novel anodized aluminum bands cause leg injuries in Piping Plovers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT We placed 1078 plastic and anodized aluminum auxiliary bands on Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus) in eastern Canada from 1998 to 2003. Seventeen apparent band-related injuries, ranging from abrasion to foot loss, were observed from 361 recaptures. All but two injuries were related to the use of tall anodized aluminum auxiliary bands. Therefore, we advise extreme caution regarding the selection and use of novel auxiliary bands for Piping Plovers, or similar Charadriiformes. Colocamos 1078 anillas plásticas y de aluminio revestidas (“anodizadas”) en individuos de Charadrius melodus en la parte este de Canadá durante el 1998 y 2003. Se observaron 17 lesiones (de 361 recapturas) desde abrasiones hasta perdida de la pata aparentemente relacionadas al uso de anillas. Excepto dos, las demás heridas fueron relacionadas al uso de anillas altas de aluminio revestidas (9.1 mm de altura). Por lo tanto recomendamos extrema cautela en la selección y uso de anillas auxiliares en el ave estudiada al igual que en otras aves del mismo orden.

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.
