Abstract
We tracked 12 mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) between February 1999 and April 2003 by using global positioning system (GPS) radiotelemetry in southeastern British Columbia to provide detailed information on migration and habitat use to local managers. We tested winter resource selection at the home-range and within-home-range scale to test a hypothesis that ungulate resource selection is scale-dependent. All sampled mule deer in this population migrated from low-elevation winter ranges to high-elevation summer ranges, supporting a hypothesis that migration is obligatory in mountainous, heavy-snow areas. We found little consistent selection at the within-home-range scale, but considerable selection at the home-range scale, supporting a scale-dependent hypothesis. Potential mule deer winter range could be predicted from 2 biophysical attributes, elevation and solar duration. Currently suitable winter habitat can then be further delineated on the basis of amount of mature coniferous forest within this zone. Use of GPS radiotelemetry increased sample intensity of individual deer, and thereby accuracy of individual parameter estimates. However, because of high equipment costs and failure rates, increased sample intensity occurred at the expense of sample size, and therefore illustrates a trade-off consideration for future work.

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
