Abstract
Several of the papers presented at the symposium are published here in full.Papers published elsewhere are not reproduced here, but "expanded abstracts" of them are included.All papers and expanded abstracts are published in English, but French and Spanish abstracts also accompany full papers.Papers and expanded abstracts in this volume are grouped into three sections.Part I consists of four papers and four expanded abstracts on research in North America.Half of these are from Alaska.One expanded abstract is from Mexico, geographically part of North America, but faunistically Central American.Part II consists of nine papers and one expanded abstract on shorebird research in Central and South America.One of these is exclusively on a species (Red Knot) that breeds in the Northern Hemisphere, while most of the others include wintering and/or migrant populations.Part III consists of two papers and one expanded abstract on topics not restricted to either continent.The two papers are reviews of nocturnal foraging in shorebirds and energy constraints on non-breeding distribution of coastal shorebirds.The expanded abstract concerns migration and mass changes of Whiterumped Sandpipers in both North and South America.There is plenty of direct interest to banders in this book.Brian J. McCaffey color-banded adult Whimbrels and Bristle-thighed Curlews in Alaska in 1988 to assess breeding-site fidelity in subsequent years.Six of eight Bristle-thighed Curlews returned to breed in the same area in 1990, but none of four Whimbrels did.Although banding is not mentioned specifically in an expanded abstract on Spotted Sandpiper studies Jan.-Mar.
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.
