Abstract
In this report we review issues in conservation genetics, which pertain directly to genetic management and captive breeding of wildlife. Our goal is to evaluate genetic management options for the Hook Lake Wood Bison Recovery Project (HLWBR), a community-based wildlife conservation project that was initiated in 1996 and is run co-operatively between the Government of the Northwest Territories (NWT), the Aboriginal Wildlife Harvesters ’ Committee (AWHC) and Deninu Kue ’ First Nation in Fort Resolution. A principal aim of the project is to salvage genetic diversity from the Hook Lake herd, a wild, free-ranging herd of wood bison in the Slave River Lowlands that is diseased with bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) and brucellosis (Brucella abortus). The long-term goal of the co-operative project is to use a captive, disease-free herd to re-establish a healthy herd of free-ranging bison in the Hook Lake area. The current phase of the project, genetic salvage and captive-breeding, is based on a combination of techniques to propagate a healthy captive herd. From 1996 to 1998, a total of 62

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.
