Winter activity patterns of northern flying squirrels in sub-boreal forests
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We described autumn-winter activity patterns of northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) in northwestern British Columbia during 1996-1997 and 1997-1998. Nineteen flying squirrels (12 males and 7 females) were fitted with temperature-sensitive radio collars. We located animals in 82 daytime nests using radiotelemetry techniques and monitored 268 nights of activity using data-logging receivers placed at the base of nest trees. The average temperature of the animals, as determined by the collar sensors while the animals were in nests, was 39.2 ± 0.1°C, with no significant differences among animals, tree species, or tree sizes. Activity periods in a mild field season followed a dusk- and dawn-activity pattern, but activities in harsh winter conditions shifted towards a shorter single activity bout or two very short activity bouts in the middle of the night. No long activity bouts (>1.9 h) were observed at temperatures below -20°C. This reduction in time spent active and adjustment of the timing of activity during extremely low temperatures likely serve as an energy-conservation strategy.

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.
