Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

To better understand the use of birdsong in territorial defence, vocal responses to conspecific song playback were assessed in Hermit Thrush Catharus guttatus males. Subjects avoided both overlapping and frequency matching the playback songs. In addition, during playback, males performed abridged versions of their songs that lacked introductory notes. Overlapping and matching avoidance, as well as the use of abridged songs, may reflect subjects’ efforts to maximize signal efficiency and avoid acoustic interference, even while actively engaged in territorial defence. Future work will explore that possibility, especially with respect to the use and function of abridged songs.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
