Abstract
Wright et al. (2011) claimed the first report of Borrelia burgdorferi (Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt, and Brenner) in a tick larva on a bird in western North America. Morshed et al. (2005), however, detected B. burgdorferi in Ixodes auritulus Neumann larvae collected from a fox sparrow, Passerella iliaca (Merrem) in 2003, from Vancouver Island, Canada constituting the first report of B. burgdorferi-infected tick larvae on a bird in western North America. Wright et al. (2011) also incorrectly cite Scott et al. (2010) as having collected B. burgdorferi-infected Ixodes scapularis Say from an Oregon junco, Junco hyemalis oreganus (Townsend). Since the Oregon junco is a western subspecies of the dark-eyed junco, Junco hyemalis hyemalis (L.), a tick-infested Oregon junco in eastern North America would be an anomaly. Moreover, I. scapularis is not indigenous in western North America. Scott et al. (2010) reported a pool of 8 B. burgdorferi-positive immature I. auritulus (1 nymph, 7 larvae) on an Oregon junco in 2004 four years prior to the collections of B. burgdorferi-infected, I. pacificus Cooley and Kohls larvae on Oregon juncos reported by Wright et al. (2011).

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.
