Abstract
Trogidae Trox aequalis Say is widely distributed throughout much of eastern and central North America south to northern Mexico (Vaurie 1955). In Canada it is found from Manitoba east to Nova Scotia (McNamara 1991). Species of Trox feed in situations where feathers or mammal hairs abound, either in the nests of birds, chiefly holenesting species such as owls, woodpeckers, and starlings (Sturnus vulgaris Linné), or in the nests of burrowing mammals, such as foxes, gophers, squirrels, mice, rats, rabbits, and badgers. Owl pellets are a good source of supply for some of the smaller species (Vaurie 1955). Trox aequalis has been found in a variety of nests of mammals and birds, such as crows, screech owls, barn owls (Tyto alba (Scopoli)), great horned owls (Bubo virginianus (Gmelin), buteos, turkey vultures (Cathartes aura Linné), starlings, and tufted titmice (Baeolophus bicolor (Linné)) (Robinson 1941), and in northern sawwhet owl nests (Phillips et al. 1983).

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.
