Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Forage habitat values and bear abundance were identified as leading research needs within the RMOW to achieve "Bear Smart Status", a recognition program used to recognize communities that are bear proofing their community and ultimately reducing human and bear conflicts. Hair samples were collected using non-invasive barbed wire hair snagging sites to gather hair roots for genetic tags. I used coarse scale and fine scale methods for delineating bear forage habitat values at hair snagging sites. I calculated habitat value indices for bear foods in each season. I examined the relationship between two methods for delineating forage habitat value and between forage habitat value, distance from urban areas, and bear abundance at hair snagging sites. Fif'ty-nine individuals were identified, 30 female and 29 male. I found there was a positive correlation between these variables for females but not for males; there was also a significant correlation between the methods for delineating habitat value.

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.

Not 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.
