Abstract
Terrestrial-breeding amphibians live at high densities, show strong site fidelity, and have relatively stable populations, long life spans, and high vulnerability to dehydration. These traits make them potentially useful indicators of effects of canopy removal during logging. We compared the relative abundance of western redback salamanders (Plethodon vehiculum) in old-growth and managed second-growth stands on Vancouver Island, and found significantly more individuals in old-growth stands. Salamanders were more abundant in larger stands of old growth, but showed no relationship with stand or patch size among mature second-growth stands. Managed stands contained more salamanders when old growth was adjacent. Juvenile:adult ratios within managed stands were significantly higher in stands not adjacent to old growth, suggesting poor survivorship to adulthood in younger stands

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 it
