Abstract
Limnetic-benthic sympatric species pairs of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus spp.) are unique to lakes of southwestern British Columbia. One pair has gone extinct and the remaining three pairs are listed as endangered. The biodiversity conservation policies that could potentially protect these species are examined. The plight of the stickleback pairs serves as a test of the sufficiency of Canada's constellation of biodiversity conservation policies. This article finds that until very recently not even the combination of national and provincial policies offered unequivocal protection for these species. A new national Species at Risk Act now offers more promise. Nevertheless, a more fundamental issue remains. A misconception concerning the value of biodiversity may be impeding the formulation of adequate policies and plans for biodiversity conservation in general, both in Canada and worldwide.

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
