Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Our research will focus on mammal communication by exploring the specific use of vocalizations in the American pika (Ochotona princeps). Past research indicates that pika produce squeak calls containing cues to individual identity that aid in territory protection. We will be recording pika vocals from a population of individuals in the Highwood region of Kananaskis, AB. Calls will be recorded and detailed playbacks conducted to understand how call structure affects response in listeners. In other words do pika recognize different individuals by sound alone. Because pika live in high alpine scree locations they are key indicators of the effects of climate change. Therefore, any exploration into their behaviour may aid in understanding the potential effects of climate change on this species and perhaps alpine species more generally.

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.
