Distribution and Conservation Status of Sparganium (Typhaceae) in the Canadian Prairie Provinces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We revised the distribution and conservation status of Sparganium L. for the Canadian Prairie Provinces ( cpp ) based on herbarium voucher specimens. In the region, we recognized eight species: Sparganium americanum , S. angustifolium , S. emersum , S. eurycarpum , S. fluctuans , S. glomeratum , S. hyperboreum , and S. natans . Among these, Sparganium americanum , S. fluctuans , S. glomeratum , and S. hyperboreum are in the rare category, with conservation rankings of Critically Endangered, Vulnerable, and Endangered. Following an exhaustive herbarium specimen examination, we discovered additional collections of S. glomeratum , revealing its circumpolar distribution in North America, hence rejecting its status as introduced. In all, we were able to update the geographic distribution and rarity status of Sparganium in the cpp , especially for S. americanum and S. glomeratum . This study demonstrates that herbarium databases are powerful in identifying regions deserving conservation priority based on high diversity and high concentrations of rare or narrowly distributed species. This information facilitates the development of management strategies for the protection of unusual species assemblages.

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.
