Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Sexual dimorphism refers to differences in size and shape between females and males of the same species. The term sexual dimorphism is usually used only for the secondary sexual characteristics, which are unrelated to reproduction. Some examples of sexual dimorphism include differences in stature, weight, morphology of the face, cognitive development, mortality, and disease prevalence. Although humans exhibit low levels of sexual dimorphism compared to other animals, differences between females and males are numerous. Evolutionary, sexually dimorphic traits develop through the process of sexual selection. Furthermore, mating system, body size, gender roles, and quality of environment also play an important role in determining the levels of sexual dimorphism. Sexual dimorphism has an important place in biological anthropology. In bioarchaeology and forensic anthropology, morphological and metric traits are used to estimate sex of the skeletal remains, while in studies of human evolution the level of sexual dimorphism is used to reconstruct social behavior. Generally, the majority of studies tend to focus on adults, because sexual dimorphism is not well pronounced before puberty.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
