Myotis Ciliolabrum found East of its Known Range
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The range of the western small-footed bat (Myotis ciliolabrum) traditionally includes the SW corner of Saskatchewan, S of the South Saskatchewan River and W of Regina. 1 On May 27, 2014 a dead specimen of M. ciliolabrum was found at the Indian Head Golf Club in Indian Head, Saskatchewan (5032'22" N, 10339'42" W), well east of its usual range. The specimen had light fur and the dark eye mask characteristic of this species. This location was unusual because this species generally prefers arid or semi arid environments where individuals roost in rock crevices 2 , while Indian Head, SK and the surrounding area is wetter, and lacks rocky outcrops. This suggests that the bat was transient, especially since the last few years have been even wetter than average. The bat was found underneath a drainpipe leading to the ground following a heavy downpour. It is possible that the bat may have been roosting within the pipe when the rain started.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
