Apparent cooperative breeding at a nest of the Silvery-throated Jay ( <i>Cyanolyca argentigula</i> ) and first nest description
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Silvery-throated Jay (Cyanolyca argentigula) is a poorly known Neotropical corvid endemic to the Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica and western Panama. In April 2016, we found an active Silvery-throated Jay nest in Chirripó National Park, Costa Rica. Here we provide the first description of the breeding biology of this species, including nest architecture, estimates of incubation and nestling periods, and observations of adults attending the nest. The large cup nest, placement in the crown of a small tree, and breeding phenology are similar to other Cyanolyca species. We observed up to 5 adults associated with this nest, including at least 3 different adults that fed chicks. These observations suggest cooperative breeding at this nest but are also consistent with the possibility of communal breeding. Future studies with color-banded individuals and genetic sampling will be necessary to better understand what seems to be cooperative breeding in the Silvery-throated Jay.

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.
