Body Size and Hematological Values for Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus) Breeding in the Northeastern United States
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With a substantial number of herring gulls (Larus argentatus) being seen each year at wildlife clinics and wildlife rehabilitation facilities, it is clear that there is a need for hematological reference values for this species. Being able to compare values from gulls in these settings to reference ranges available from healthy, actively breeding gulls will provide useful information regarding their health. Surprisingly, there are very few published studies with hematological data specific to herring gulls. In this study, serum chemistry values and body size measurements were obtained from approximately 20 incubating herring gulls at two breeding islands—Appledore Island, Maine, USA and Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada. The values found were compared to those in the published literature obtained from a number of similar species. This comparison indicated that the hematological values from the herring gulls sampled on Appledore and Kent Islands are similar to those found in other gull species. Therefore, the data collected in this study represent ranges of normal hematological values for healthy, breeding herring gulls.

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.
