Bibliographic record
Abstract
Only 79 Christmas Mammal Counts were conducted this winter -the fewest since 1995. A paltry 2147 mammals were seen or heard this CMC, about two-thirds of last year's 3382 and the fewest since 1993. Much of this was due to the decline in the number of White-tailed Deer, which dropped by half from last year's 1421 to 733. Mule Deer fared much better dipping only slightly from 669 to 601. As with the birds, the average number of species per count fell from 4.4 in 2012 to 4.0 this year. No new species were added; the all-time total remains at 49. Like the Eurasian Collared-Dove, the Eastern Fox Squirrel continues to expand its range. After appearing on the Qu'Appelle Dam count 2 years ago, it showed up 30 km to the northwest on Gardiner Dam count on December 16. This suggests it will show up in Outlook in another two years. Franklin's Ground Squirrel at Saskatoon was only the second on the count; the previous record of this species that normally hibernates, was one seen at Asquith December 23 1975.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
