Reproductive characteristics of Northern Pocket Gophers, Thomomys talpoides, in Alberta alfalfa fields
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reproductive characteristics of Northern Pocket Gophers, Thomomys talpoides, in Alberta alfalfa fields.Canadian Field-Naturalist 116(2): 319-321. .The productivity of Northern Pocket Gopher (Thomomys talpoides) females inhabiting eight alfalfa (Medicago spp.) fields in Alberta was investigated in 1994.Breeding began in late March and was virtually complete by the end of May.A total of 131 pregnant females were captured on all study sites.Females had, on average, 6.1 (standard deviation: 1.4) viable embryos.There were 295 females with placental scars.They had, on average, 5.5 (1.4) scars.In some study sites, the mean number of embryos/female differed from the mean number of placental scars.In a comparison of various Northern Pocket Gopher populations, it is recommended to use mean productivity levels obtained with the same technique, i.e., embryo or placental scar counts.
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.
