Captive Tawny Frogmouths Exhibit Similar Body Temperature Patterns as Wild Individuals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Free-ranging tawny frogmouths (Podargus strigoides) typically defend body temperature (Tb) between 38 and 40°C during activity and allow it to fall to 29°C during cold evenings. However, this pattern of nightly Tb decline has not been elicited in captivity during short-term respirometry measurements. We used implanted Tb loggers to record the Tb of two captive tawny frogmouths from 24 September to 24 December 2019 to determine if the conditions in captivity would elicit similar Tb patterns to those measured in the wild. We recorded an average Tb of 34.8 ± 1.1 and 35.6 ± 1.0°C for the two birds and minimum Tb of 31.0 and 32.0°C. Minimum daily Tb was correlated between the two individuals, and the minimum Tb of both individuals was correlated with minimum daily Ta. Our results highlight the need to keep birds under appropriate captive conditions to perform physiological research that produces results which mirror responses by individuals in the wild.

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.
