Association of Marbled Murrelets Brachyramphus Marmoratus with Foraging Gray Whales Eschrichtius Robustus on the Southwest Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Foraging in association with other species can be an important strategy that facilitates locating or capturing prey.We studied the association of Marbled Murrelets with foraging Gray Whales along a 105 km transect on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in June 2005.Gray Whales forage on benthic invertebrates by scooping up bottom sediments.Spatial association was analyzed across the extent of the transect and within a 50 m radius of surfacing whales.At both spatial scales, murrelets were more closely associated with Gray Whales than would be expected by chance.Murrelets were observed feeding in direct association with foraging whales, and qualitative observations from plankton tows indicated much more abundant zooplankton near surfacing whales.More research is needed to elucidate this relationship.Identifying facilitative relationships among marine organisms is important in understanding structure of food webs and adaptability to environmental change.

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.
