Abstract
This thesis is formatted in journal style, and as is typical of research submitted to peer-reviewed journals, some of the data included in the three research chapters have been collected by collaborating authors. These authors are listed at the beginning of each chapter, and the contribution of each is detailed below. Chapter 2 incorporates a vegetation survey around the shores of the field site, Laguna La Gaiba, conducted by Ezequiel Chavez and René Guillén of the Muséo de Historía Natural Noel Kempff Mercado, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and Michael J. Burn differentiated the pollen of Moraceae and Urticaceae in twenty-five horizons. Toby Pennington of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, has been crucial to data interpretation and discussion. The research in Chapter 3 also relies on the field surveys of Ezequiel Chavez and René Guillén, as well as the finer-scale pollen differentiation provided by Michael J. Burn. This chapter also includes carbon isotope data obtained by Neil J. Loader and Alayne Street-Perrott, Swansea University, Wales, and elemental data collected by Francis E. Mayle and Michael H. Marshall (Aberystwyth) at the Itrax XRF scanner facility, University of Aberystwyth. As in the preceding chapter, Toby Pennington has played an integral role in the ecological interpretation and climatic significance of changes in the inundation-tolerant forest. The data obtained for Chapter 4 were collected entirely by my own hand, but the interpretation of these data was improved by contributed work of my co-authors in the previous two chapters.

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 it
