Abstract
Abstract Canada provides habitat for more than 470 species of migrating and non-migrating birds. They provide a number of ecosystem services; biological control, pollination, seed dispersal, seed germination and nutrient recycling. However their habitats are under increasing pressure from threats such as urban expansion, industrial agriculture, logging, mining and pollution. In order to ensure that our migrants return each spring, we must also work to conserve their vital habitat beyond our borders. Birds are important to conserve in their own right as they are an effective indicator taxon for environmental change; they are relatively large and diurnal, birds are close to ubiquitous geographically, are high on the food chain therefore reflecting change in a diversity of organisms and they are relatively long-lived so studies can be conducted over a number of years. Their distribution therefore helps us to identify areas where measures to conserve biodiversity are especially critical. Not all sites can be conserved so Important Bird Areas (IBAs) have been identified which are conservation priorities. Sites selected as IBAs are effective in capturing a high proportion of threatened, endemic and representative wildlife species other than birds.

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
