NER
Named-entity recognition
gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input

A.
Species Packing and Competitive Equilibrium for Many Species
"Species Packing and Competitive Equilibrium for Many Species" is a foundational ecological theory paper that analyzes how numerous species can coexist by partitioning resources and reaching competitive equilibrium within shared environments.
-
B.
Stability and Complexity in Model Ecosystems
Stability and Complexity in Model Ecosystems is a landmark 1973 book by theoretical ecologist Robert May that uses mathematical models to challenge the assumption that more complex ecosystems are inherently more stable.
-
C.
"Growth and Regulation of Animal Populations"
"Growth and Regulation of Animal Populations" is an influential ecological monograph by Lawrence B. Slobodkin that helped establish modern population ecology by analyzing how biological and environmental factors control animal population dynamics.
-
D.
The Theory of Island Biogeography
The Theory of Island Biogeography is a foundational ecological work that explains how species richness on islands is shaped by the balance between immigration and extinction, profoundly influencing modern conservation biology and biogeography.
-
E.
Lotka–Volterra models
Lotka–Volterra models are a set of differential equations in mathematical biology that describe the dynamics of interacting species, such as predator–prey and competitive relationships, and are foundational for theoretical ecology.
- F. None of above. chosen
