Organochlorine contaminants, immunocompetence and vitellogenin in great black-backed gulls from Lake Ontario
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 2001, organochlorine contaminants in great black-backed gull (' Larus marinus') eggs from Lake Ontario were significantly higher than a control site (Bay of Fundy), and higher than in herring gull ('Larus argentatus') eggs from Lake Ontario. In great black-backed gull chicks, packed cell volume was significantly lower at one contaminated site. Response to PHA-P stimulation, antibodies to sheep red blood cells and body condition did not differ among sites. In herring gull chicks, response to PHA-P stimulation was significantly lower at one contaminated site than the control. Antibodies to sheep red blood cells, body condition and packed cell volume did not differ among sites. Antibodies to sheep red blood cells were lower in great black-backed gulls than herring gulls at one contaminated site and the control site, packed cell volume was lower in great black-backed gulls at one contaminated site. Vitellogenin was not detected in adult males of either species.

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.
