Lake Mead National Recreation Area Monitoring and Evaluation of Sensitive Wildlife: Quarterly Progress Report, Period Ending March 31, 2007
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Project 1. Relict Leopard Frog Monitoring, Management, and Research Spring-time diurnal surveys for relict leopard frogs were conducted at all sites. Relict leopard frog annual translocation effort was initiated. Currently, 2,153 tadpoles are being reared at the Hill Top and Willow Beach Fish Hatchery facilities. Quagga mussels found at the hatchery might not be as problematic for this program as originally thought. Current prophylactic protocols for disease treatment in tadpoles and frogs are being evaluated for their ability to kill quagga mussel larvae. Coordination and monitoring was provided to EPMT crews conducting tamarisk control at relict leopard frog sites in Black Canyon. Coordination and assistance was provided to UNLV research efforts on habitat improvements for relict leopard frogs at Blue Point and Rogers Springs. Project 2. Bald Eagle Winter Monitoring and Evaluation Bald eagle count was completed using new protocols developed last quarter. Totals were: 87 bald eagles (30 adults and 57 immature), one immature golden eagle, and four unidentified eagles. A draft annual report was written, submitted to NPS, and is currently under NPS review. Project 3. Peregrine Falcon Monitoring and Evaluation Peregrine falcon spring monitoring activities began early. A total of 30 passive surveys were completed; all known territories have been visited. Eight exploratory surveys were also conducted. One new territory along the shores of southern Lake Mojave was identified. Project 4. Assessment of Six Covered and Three Evaluation Bird Species Research status meeting was held; thrasher study focus will shift from field surveys to generating habitat variable data for preliminary analysis and modeling. Project 5. Desert Tortoise Monitoring and Management Population surveys for desert tortoises are not likely to be conducted this spring, discussions on project status to follow this quarter. Desert tortoise and desert tortoise habitat compliance monitoring was continued. Project 6. Shorebird Monitoring on Lakes Mead and Mohave Monthly surveys were conducted on seven intensive monitored sites on Lakes Mead and Mojave throughout the past quarter with a total of 25 surveys completed. Project 7. Desert Bighorn Sheep Habitat Use Monitoring in Relation to Highway Development. Data management and QA of GPS collar information from bighorn sheep with 285 point locations processed on 11 radio collars were continued. Data assessments and analyses of bighorn sheep movements were provided to NPS for presentation. Other Activities UNLV undergraduate intern was hired to assist part-time with research efforts. Two professional presentations by individuals associated with this task agreement were given. Two public presentations that include information associated with this task agreement were given.

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.
