Bibliographic record
Abstract
A collection of contributions from a 2006 meeting in the UK, this compilation is rather a mixed bag. Most of its material has already been published elsewhere. Of course, the editors of this volume did not have the opportunity to specify topics or select authors, as it is essentially a conference proceedings. No criticism, therefore, for their editorial efforts. This volume does not really have either enough solid new content, however, or a sufficiently strong theme or structure to substitute for the primary literature. There are five very general chapters and nine case studies. The latter look at: the Andes and Himalayas; a heavily‐visited Biosphere Reserve in China; cruise ships in the Canadian Arctic; bears in Alaska; tigers in India; dingoes in Australia; seals in New Zealand; tropical forests; and botanical gardens. From an ecologist’s perspective, however, the data are rather disappointing, and the depth and detail of the case study chapters differs enormously.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
