Factors affecting Ord's kangaroo rats (dipodomys ordii) in natural and anthropogenic habitats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ord's kangaroo rats in Alberta occupy natural habitat which is typified by sand dunes and sandy river-valley slopes, and anthropogenic habitat in the form of sandy roads and fireguards. I studied differences in predation risk, winter microclimate, body condition, and over-winter survival of Ord's kangaroo rats in natural and anthropogenic habitat. Kangaroo rats in anthropogenic habitat appear to be at higher risk of predation than those in natural habitats. Kangaroo rats occupy burrow sites that maximize winter solar radiation, and winter soil temperatures in kangaroo rat burrow locations are colder in anthropogenic habitat than natural habitat. Kangaroo rats in anthropogenic habitat had lower fall body condition than in natural habitat, and body condition was positively correlated with adult over-winter survival. Over-winter survival rates were higher in river valley sites than dunes or roads. My results suggest numerous, potentially cumulative, negative implications for kangaroo rats occupying anthropogenic habitats.

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.
