Microhabitat Preferences of a Small Mammal Assemblage in Canadian County, Oklahoma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We conducted a small mammal ecological study at John Nichols Scout Ranch in Southeastern Canadian County, Oklahoma, during the summers of 2013 and 2014. Microhabitat preferences of Peromyscus leucopus, P. maniculatus, Neotoma floridana, and Sigmodon hispidus were determined using species’ presence/absence and 60 habitat variables at 10 randomly selected plots. These data were subjected to principle components analysis and niche overlap. Peromyscus leucopus and N. floridana occupy similar woodland areas, featuring high degrees of litter and overhang canopy, as well as rocky outcrops. Peromyscus maniculatus was associated with areas of annual, barren, shrub, and tree coverage, with adjacent habitat heterogeneity—an edge. Sigmodon hispidus was found in open grasslands with homogeneous adjacent habitat. Peromyscus leucopus and N. floridana had the highest degree of niche overlap, while P. maniculatus had a smaller overlap with these species. Sigmodon hispidus had the lowest degree of niche overlap among all studied species, indicating high habitat specificity. ©2015 Oklahoma Academy of Science

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.
