Conservation/Legislative Update: Circus President & Former Employee Plead Guilty to Violating Endangered Species Act
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Already this winter, white-nose syndrome has shown up in two new states, for a current total of 16," said Matteson."The federal agencies responsible for protecting our wildlife have needed to move quickly and aggressively, but instead they have been tentative and indecisive.A system for national wildlife disease response, if adequately funded, will make a huge difference."The bat disease was first documented in caves in upstate New York in 2006; it has since moved as far west as western Oklahoma, as far south as Tennessee and as far north as Ontario, Canada.Scientists estimated two years ago it had killed more than 1 million bats, and many more bats since then have died.The cause of the bat illness is likely a newly introduced fungus, which colonizes the bats' skin and wings and appears to interfere with their delicate physiological balance during hibernation.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
