Diversity and Habitat Occupancy of Amphibians of the Knuckles Mountain Forest Range World Heritage Site, Sri Lanka, and Related Conservation Issues
Bibliographic record
Abstract
From 1881 to 2010, the original forest cover of Sri Lanka was reduced from 84 to 14%. As a result, only about 750 km 2 of relatively undisturbed, but fragmented, virgin forest still remains in the wet zone of Sri Lanka. The three main fragments, the Knuckles, the Peak Wilderness, and Sinharâja, account for half of the remaining virgin forest. Although the persisting virgin forest in the Knuckles is highly fragmented, and drastically reduced in area due to the clearing of land for the cultivation of cash-crops, its diverse vegetational types harbor a rich vertebrate fauna, some members of which are unique to Sri Lanka. During our study of amphibians in this area we encountered 24 species. Although the Knuckles is recognized as being vulnerable to uncontrolled human influences, it remains an important locality in Sri Lanka because of its rich biological diversity and endemicity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
