Tiger Salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, movements and mortality on the Trans-Canada highway in southwestern Alberta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report on the mid-season movements and mortality of Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum) along the Trans-Canada highway in Kananaskis Country, Alberta.The highway was surveyed for road-killed animals between April and November during 1997, 1998, and 1999.Road-killed Tiger Salamanders were collected on one day in 1998 and eight days in 1999.A minimum of 183 Tiger Salamander mortalities were recorded on a 1.05 km section of highway.The mean snout-to-vent length of eight road-killed salamanders was 103.1 cm.Movement was concentrated in one 300 m section of highway, primarily in one direction, and related to heavy rainfall events and warm weather.It was not clear whether movements were pre-breeding or post-breeding or why there was a sudden eruption in movements away from Chilver Lake.

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.
