Urban biodiversity : portraits of Montréal, Bordeaux, and Barcelona
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"At a time when people are concerned about the effects of climate change and increasing urbanization, a host of bold initiatives are emerging in cities around the world. Urban green spaces bring psychological well-being, encourage social interaction, and promote healthy lifestyles. However, the consequent fragmentation of the urban landscape generally means that green spaces are small. Nevertheless, green spaces are important, particularly for small organisms (small animals, insects, micro-organisms). A single fragment of vegetation (e.g. a hedge) can be a habitat (for a bird), a corridor (for a small mammal), a wall (for an insect) or an entire ecosystem (for a microbe). It is therefore essential to study the urban ecosystem, its biodiversity, and their functions. To inspire future sustainable urban adaptation projects that promote biodiversity, this article showcases projects from three metropolises: Montréal, Bordeaux, and Barcelona. [...]"

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.
