Bibliographic record
Abstract
How age influences phonotaxis in virgin female Jamaican field crickets (Gryllus assimilis)Female mating preference can be a dominant force shaping the evolution of sexual signals.However, females rarely have consistent mating preferences throughout their lives.Preference flexibility results from complex interactions of predation risk, social and sexual experience, and age.Because residual reproductive value should theoretically decline with age, older females should not be as choosy as younger females.We explored how age influences phonotaxis towards a standard mate attraction signal using a spherical treadmill (trackball) and a no-choice experimental protocol.Female Jamaican field crickets, Gryllus assimilis, were highly variable in their phonotaxis; age explained up to 64% of this variation.Females 10 days post imaginal eclosion and older oriented toward the mate attraction signal, with 10-and 13-day females exhibiting the greatest movement in the direction of the signal.Our study suggests 10-and 13-day old females would be most responsive when quantifying the preference landscape for G. assimilis sexual signals.

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.
