Historical status of geese in Jamaica and an early record of a Snow Goose ( Anser caerulescens )
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: There are no species of geese native to Jamaica. Here I discuss a patchy history of records of three vagrant species of geese that have been recorded on the island, including the Snow Goose (Anser caerulescens), Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), and Orinoco Goose (Neochen jubata). Furthermore, an illustration and description from 1758 of a Snow Goose in Jamaica has been discovered, becoming the second confirmed record for this species in Jamaica. Keywords: Anser caerulescens, Branta canadensis, Canada Goose, Jamaica, migrant species, Neochen jubata, Orinoco Goose, Snow Goose Resumen: Estatus historico de los gansos en Jamaica y uno de los primeros registros de Anser caerulescens—En Jamaica no existen especies de gansos nativos. Aqui discuto una historia irregular sobre los registros de tres especies vagrantes de gansos que se han registrado en la isla, que incluyen Anser caerulescens, Branta canadensis y Neochen jubata. Ademas, se descubrio una ilustracion y descripcion de 1758 de un individuo de Anser caerulescens en Jamaica. Esto se convirtio en el segundo registro confirmado para la especie en el pais.

Le present article presente l’histoire fragmentaire des mentions de trois especes d’oies erratiques sur l’ile : l’Oie des neiges (Anser caerulescens), la Bernache du Canada (Branta canadensis) et l’Ouette de l’Orenoque (Neochen jubata). En outre, une illustration et une description d’Oie des neiges datant de 1758 ont ete decouvertes en Jamaique, devenant ainsi la deuxieme mention confirmee pour cette espece sur l’ile.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
