Dusky Gopher Frog (<i>Lithobates sevosus</i>) Repatriation at a Reintroduction Site Through Zoo‐Led Captive‐Release Efforts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Captive-release programs are an increasingly popular conservation strategy to combat wild extinctions. However, it is critical to determine if translocating animals from captive colonies ("source populations") leads to the establishment of new wild populations that are both stable and self-sustaining. To fill this knowledge gap, we provide a case study from the dusky gopher frog (Lithobates sevosus) reintroduction program to serve as an example for other critically endangered amphibians. In this study, we provide quantitative information on the reintroduction and survivorship of zoo-bred individuals that are released into the wild. This unique opportunity is the culmination of close to 20 years of collective efforts across multiple agencies. By taking advantage of the key monitoring window shortly after initial releases, we can formally declare the first successfully reintroduced, breeding population of dusky gopher frogs founded solely from a captive-bred colony.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
