Effect of corridors on the movement behavior of the jumping spider <i>Phidippus princeps</i> (Araneae, Salticidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Corridors are a common conservation strategy intended to increase the spatial connectivity among isolated habitat patches. Corridors, however, are not always effective. This study demonstrates that corridors increase movement to new patches for the jumping spider Phidippus princeps (Peckham and Peckham, 1883) (Araneae, Salticidae), a visually oriented predator. I assigned spiders to one of three microlandscape treatments, created in an old field dominated by alsike clover ( Trifolium hybridum L.) and alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.), in which patches were connected to (i) vegetated corridors and bare pathways, (ii) only vegetated corridors, and (iii) only bare pathways. The movement of P. princeps was effectively directed by corridors. When given a choice of paths, spiders invariably chose vegetated corridors over bare pathways to emigrate from and to immigrate to new patches. Spiders rarely moved between patches when only bare pathways were available. In the absence of corridors, P. princeps did not risk open ground to move to new habitat even though conspecific density was high. The corridors facilitated the interpatch movement of P. princeps, suggesting that P. princeps is restricted in its habitat use. Thus, a higher degree of spatial connectivity is likely to increase the exchange of individuals for species that are restricted in their movements by unsuitable habitat.

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.
