Species lists of the Koffler Scientific Reserve at Jokers Hill, Ontario, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This document includes taxonomically-organized lists of all vascular plants, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals recorded from the 350 ha Koffler Scientific Reserve of the University of Toronto, in King Township, Regional Municipality of York, Ontario, Canada (44° 01' N, 79° 31' W). These lists were initially compiled by C.S. Blaney and were published as an appendix to his M.Sc. thesis (Blaney C.S. 1999), conducted under the supervision of P.M. Kotanen. They subsequently were formatted for the web by P.M. Kotanen and made available on the Koffler Scientific Reserve website (http://ksr.utoronto.ca/), where they were revised periodically to reflect additions and taxonomic changes. A major revision in 2020, led by T. Babar, reflected recent phylogenetic and nomenclatural changes and added additional species. These revised lists included numerous additional observations of birds contributed by T. McKenzie and G. Reed. Additional information on each list is provided in that particular section. These lists are current as of 21 June 2024. Additional species (e.g., Passenger Pigeon, Black Bear) undoubtably occurred at this site prior to European settlement, but are not documented in the existing record. Information on any additional species (preferably with photographs or specimens) should be directed to the correspondence author. These lists document the existing biodiversity of this rapidly urbanizing area. Both current users and future researchers should benefit from the permanent availability of this unique resource.
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.
