Changes in body composition during reproduction and postnatal growth in the little brown bat,<i>Myotis lucifugus</i>(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Body composition of little brown bats, Myotis lucifugus was quantified to evaluate the proximate costs of reproduction in a small temperate mammal. Changes in the major components of body composition (water, lean dry, and fat mass) during the breeding season were analyzed in adult females and in young during the postnatal growth period. Changes in body composition of reproductive females were small relative to their level of reproductive effort, suggesting that most of the increased costs of reproduction are not met by mobilizing body reserves. The reduction of lean dry and fat mass in adult females suggest that mineral and fat stores are mobilized to promote high postnatal growth rates in pups. Changes in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of adult females support the hypothesis that increased food intake and assimilation are the primary morphological and physiological responses to the increased energy demands of lactation. A two-week period of linear growth during the postnatal period when pups were dependent on their mothers was followed by a rapid transition to adult body composition.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
