Bat Activity and Use of Hibernacula in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Relatively little is known about bats or bat hibernacula in northern Canada. We were interested in documenting species diversity and seasonal activity of bats in Wood Buffalo National Park, including use of a cave hibernaculum by Little Brown Myotis (Myotis lucifugus), Northern Myotis (Myotis septentrionalis), and Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus). We used acoustic monitoring and mist netting over 3 y to assess species diversity and seasonal activity. We also recorded cave temperature during hibernation. During the summers of 2010 to 2012, we captured 470 bats including M. lucifugus, M. septentrionalis, and E. fuscus. We identified 2 migratory species via echolocation recordings in 2011: Lasiurus cinereus (Hoary Bat) was recorded in the area from mid-May to early October, and Lasiurus borealis (Eastern Red Bat) from mid-June to early August. Resident bat activity at the hibernaculum was greatest from mid-June to early September. Our findings provide a first approximation of species diversity and describe seasonal activity patterns of bats in Wood Buffalo National Park.

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.
