Evaluation of an expandable, breakaway radiocollar for subadult cervids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT- We designed and field tested an expandable, easy-to-build radiocollar for subadult male fallow deer (Dama dama). This collar is inexpensive (it only costs few eu-ros), and breaks away due to the natural growth of the neck without causing injury. Elastic rubber bands (expandable section) are covered by a leather layer that protects it from pre-mature breakaway. We evaluated the effectiveness of 37 expandable collars deployed on pricket (1-2 y.o.) fallow deer, by using the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Average dura-tion of collars from their deployment to their natural drop off was almost 2 years (mean ±SE, 91.7 ± 6.4 weeks). This enabled us to monitor subadult fallow deer during maturation and to collect data on their spatial behaviour for the first time. Very little is known on the behavioural ecology and life history of subadult cervids. Accordingly, breakaway radiocol-lars are important research tools whose use should increase among field biologists.

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.
