Cape Breton Beached Bird Survey
Bibliographic record
Abstract
118 surveys were conducted on 28 beaches, 11 of which were new. Thirty beached birds were found, six of which showed signs of oiling (20%). Oiling rates were higher than in 2002-2003 (0%), but not as high as the first year of the survey (85.7%). The most common species found in 2003-2004 were Dovekies and Herring Gulls. A single new beach on the Gulf of St. Lawrence side of Cape Breton accounted for 20 % of all beached birds found in 2003-2004. After three years of surveys in Cape Breton the overall rate of deposition of beached birds is 0.16 birds per kilometre, which is much lower than that recorded in southern Newfoundland but within the range of deposition rates reported for other parts of North America. The overall bird oiling rate is 52.5 % over three years, the second-highest rate recorded on a beached bird survey in North America (after Newfoundland).
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.
