Distribution and Roost Selection of Bats on Newfoundland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) We studied the distribution and ecology of male and female Myotis lucifugus (Little Brown Bats) and M. septentrionalis (Northern Long-eared Bats) on Newfoundland, where conditions (e.g., resource availability, abiotic conditions) were expected to be less favorable than in areas where most studies of conspeci¿cs have occurred. We found that both species were patchily distributed and that Northern Long-eared Bats were more widely distributed across the island than previously documented. We located and characterized 36 roost trees from 14 female (6 lactating and 8 non-lactating) Northern Long-eared bats and found that, relative to conspeci¿c populations on mainland North America, female Northern Long-eared Bats on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland roosted in shorter trees with smaller diameters. We also found that roosts used by lactating Northern Long-eared females were in cavities of large-diameter trees that maintained more stable microclimates compared to roosts used by non-lactating females.

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.
