Long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) conservation in the Alberta foothills : 2002 field summary report /
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This project continued inventory and monitoring efforts for long-toed salamanders in the Alberta foothills.A total of 154 ponds were surveyed, of which 56 had evidence of breeding salamanders.Long-toed salamander eggs were found in all but one known breeding pond in the Athabasca Valley area (surveyed 2000-2001), and in 78% of previously identified breeding ponds in Jasper National Park (surveyed 1995-1996).In the Bow Valley area, only 61% of known salamander breeding ponds (surveyed 1998-2001) continued to have evidence of breeding.Attempts to identify populations in new survey areas were unsuccessful with the exception of one observation in an ancillary survey south of the Peace River.Pitfall trapping results at two ponds provided data for long-term population monitoring, and mark-recapture was initiated in the Athabasca Valley.It appears that long-toed salamander populations may be stable in protected areas, but are isolated and vulnerable to habitat destruction in other parts of their range within Alberta.Continued monitoring, education, and conservation actions are recommended.vi

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.
