Introduced bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) in British Columbia : impacts on native Pacific treefrogs (Hyla regilla) and red-legged frogs (Rana aurora)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduced species are considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, next only to habitat destruction.I studied the ecology, distribution, and impacts of one such introduced species: the American bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana).Bullfrogs were introduced to British Columbia in the 1930's for the farming of frog legs.The frog farms were not economically successful and the bullfrogs were introduced to the wild.Call surveys and information from naturalists and the public was collated to map the current distribution of bullfrogs in British Columbia.Populations of bullfrogs are found in southern British Columbia, on Vancouver Island, on the Lower Mainland, in the Gulf Islands and in the Okanagan.Natural history data and observations on marked populations in the Greater Victoria area were used to study the ecology of bullfrogs.The population ecology of bullfrogs .....

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.
