Can Crataegus douglasii be found in Québec?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The North American Douglas hawthorn, <em>C. douglasii </em>Lindl., is widespread in the Pacific Northwest, with a disjunct occurrence in the Upper Great Lakes basin. In addition, two Ontario specimens document the occurrence of this species in the Hudson Bay drainage, near Lake Abitibi. Unlike other Ontario hawthorn species (and many Ontario tree species generally) <em>C. douglasii </em>in eastern North America appears to be confined almost entirely to areas in close proximity to shorelines of the upper Great Lakes. Its distribution in Ontario bears little resemblance to that of other plant species that together give rise to the climate- and substrate-controlled ecozones and forest regions in this part of the continent. One hypothesis that has been advanced to explain this difference is the role of periglacial lakes as migration routes from west to east, and the limited ability of black-fruited <em>C. douglasii </em>to expand into the hinterland now occupied by red-fruited hawthorns that, together with many other woody species now dominant, most likely recolonized the Great Lakes basin from refugia in southeastern North America. This poster aims to renew awareness of these biogeographic questions and stimulate botanists to look for hitherto ignored or undiscovered occurrences of Douglas hawthorn in northwestern Québec.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
