Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT A review of the Nearctic—Neotropical migration system reveals that: (1) 90% of breeding land and fresh-water species in the sub-Arctic are migrants, 80% in southern Ontario, and 50–60% in Florida and Arizona. (2) Insectivorous Parulinae winter from 30°N to 10°S; seed-eating Emberizinae from 40° to 15°N; aerial feeding Tyrannidae and diurnal birds-of-prey trans-equatorially; and ducks from 50° to 5°N. (3) Co-occurrence of migrant species is facilitated by geographic and habitat allopatry, varying levels of ecological distinctness, sparse dispersal, and, sometimes, intraspecific spatial separation of sexes and age-groups. (4) Migrant—resident co-occurrence is facilitated by high proportions of the two belonging to different taxonomic and ecological groups and, within families, partial feeding zone and habitat segregation. All, however, draw on a common food pool. Too little is known about the winter food support base, differential habitat utilizations, species abundances, and biological needs, eith...

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.
