Time Budget of<i>Cancer irroratus</i>(Say) and<i>Carcinus maenas</i>(L.) Under Various Temperature and Prey Density Conditions During Conspecific and Heterospecific Challenges
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The green crab (Carduus maenas L.) is an exotic species in many parts of the world. It successfully invaded, at the end of the 1990s, the coast of Prince Edward Island, Canada, where rock crabs (Cancer irroratus Say) are commonly found. The relationship between these 2 species is still not well documented. The short-term time budget of both species was studied in autumn 2006 and spring 2007 under different experimental conditions to assess the effect of the green crab on the behavior of the rock crab. Crabs were observed in 3 competition treatments (1 crab, 2 conspecifics, or 2 heterospecifics) using 3 temperatures (5, 12, or 20°C) and 2 prey densities (4 or 30 mussels). The time spent foraging and in agonistic interactions by both species generally increased in high-temperature challenges, whereas the time spent inactive decreased, regardless of the season. Both crab species responded differently when facing a conspecific. Time spent foraging increased in certain cases whereas it decreased in others. Overall, the time budget of the green crab was only affected by temperature during autumn observations whereas the time budget of the rock crab varied according to (1) the competition treatment, (2) temperature, and (3) number of prey available. Temperature influenced the time budget of both crab species during springtime. The behavior of both species was unaffected by the presence of a heterospecific. These results suggest that rock crabs, in contrast to what was expected, are not much affected by the presence of green crabs and that they may coexist in nature.

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.
