Abstract
Phenacomys intermedius Merriam 1889 Phenacomys intermedius Merriam 1889, N. Amer. Fauna, 2: 32. Type Locality: Canada, British Columbia Prov., 20 mi (32 km) NNW Kamloops. Vernacular Names: Western Heather Vole. Synonyms: Phenacomys celsus A. B. Howell 1923; Phenacomys constablei J. A. Allen 1899; Phenacomys laingi Anderson 1942; Phenacomys levis A. B. Howell 1923; Phenacomys olympicus Elliot 1899; Phenacomys oramontis Rhoads 1895; Phenacomys orophilus Merriam 1891; Phenacomys preblei Merriam 1897; Phenacomys pumilus (Elliot 1899); Phenacomys truei J. A. Allen 1894. Distribution: NW British Columbia and SW Alberta, Canada, south to N New Mexico, C Utah, and N California, USA; disjunct populations in EC California and W Nevada, USA. Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Howell (1926) originally recognized three species (intermedius, mackenzii, and ungava) of heather voles, later reduced to two (intermedius and ungava including mackenzii) by Anderson (1942, 1947). Crowe (1943) further lumped all under intermedius based on suspected intergrades from SW Alberta, and the recognition of a single species has been generally followed (e.g., Banfield, 1974; Corbet and Hill, 1991; Hall and Cockrum, 1953) but not exclusively so (Cowan and Guiguet, 1965; Miller and Kellogg, 1955; Peterson, 1966). Foster and Peterson (1961) questioned Crowe’s appreciation of age-effects in his identification of the alleged intergrades between intermedius and ungava. As remarked by Cowan and Guiguet (1965), the matter of their synonymy "requires more detailed examination before a decision can be reached," an appraisal which stands equally valid today. See McAllister and Hoffmann (1988, Mammalian Species, 305, including ungava).

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.
