ARCTIC Differences in Weight Changes and the Annual Cycle of Male and Female Arctic Ground Squirrels
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT. Arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus parryii) were studied for three summers near Haines Junction, Yukon Territory. Population characteristics and the behaviour of individual animals were monitored throughout the study. Ground squirrels entered hibernation in the order adult females, juvenile females, then males. Males emerged from hibernation before females. Males stored food in the autumn when conditions permitted, whereas females did not. Males emerged from hibernation having lost significantly less weight than females over winter. Males lost weight during the mating period, whereas females did not. These data are interpreted in terms of the mating period which for males lasts for approximately three weeks, whereas for females it lasts for less than a day. RÉSUMÉ. Les Spermophiles arctiques (Spermophilusparryii) furent ttudits lors de trois Btés pres de Haines Junction, au Yukon. Les caracteres de la population ainsique les comportements d’individus furent contrôlde durant toute I’etude. Les Spermophiles ont amorce l’hibernation dans l’ordre suivant: les femelles adultes, les femelles juveniles puis les mâles. Les mâles ont cess6 l’hibernation plus tôt que les femelles. Les mâles, contrairement aux femelles, ont entrepose de la nourriture en automne lorsque les conditions les permettaient. Lors de l’hibernation, les mâles ont perdu beaucoup moins de poids que les femelles. Lors de la pkriode d’accouplement une perte du poids

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.
