The conservation value of hedgerows to small mammals on Prince Edward Island
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hedgerows are an important landscape feature on Prince Edward Island, Canada and are often the only forested links between isolated forest fragments. Although recent studies have examined the effects of fragmentation on small mammals on Prince Edward Island (e.g., Silva et al. 2000, Silva 2001), none have addressed the use of hedgerows by small mammals. A total of 13 hedgerows and 12 forest fragments in three sites located in central Prince Edward Island were studied from May to September 2001. Hedgerows varied in length, between 70 m and 720 m, and width between 9.4 m and 31 m. Fragment area varied from 0.006 km2 to 0.560 km2. Large Sherman live traps were placed in the center of hedgerow vegetation at 10 m intervals throughout the length of the hedgerow, while a grid configuration was used in forest fragments with the maximum area sampled being 6400 m 2. Within each study site, hedgerows and forest fragments were sampled simultaneously. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

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.
