Forty-Third Supplement to The American Ornithologists' Union Check-List of North American Birds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This is the second Supplement since publication of the 7th edition of the Check-list of North American Birds (American Ornithologists' Union 1998).It summarizes decisions made by the AOU's Committee on Classification and Nomenclature between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2001.The Committee has continued to operate in the manner outlined in the 42nd Supplement (AOU 2000).Changes in this Supplement fall into 10 categories: (1) four species are added to the main list or are transferred from the Appendix to the main list because of new distributional information (Larus cirrocephalus, Larus dominicanus, Aratinga mitrata, Phylloscopus inornatus); (2) four species are added to the main list because of splitting of species previously on the list (Pterodroma sandwichensis, Gallinago delicata, Chaetura fumosa, Baeolophus atricristatus); (3) two species replace others now on the list because of splitting from extralimital forms (Phaethornis longirostris, Phaethornis striigularis); (4) one species (Amazilia cyanifrons) is removed from the list because its only representative in our area has been reassigned status and moved to the Appendix;

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.
