Rapid response to non-indigenous species. 2. Case studies of invasive tunicates in Prince Edward Island
Bibliographic record
Abstract
(Uploaded by Plazi for the IPBES Invasive Alien Species Assessment) The term "rapid response" refers to the steps taken upon the detection of a non-indigenous species and encompasses a range of possible actions ranging from eradication, management of population abundance or dispersal, to a decision against an active response. Rapid response to non-indigenous species in Canadian waters is in its infancy and has been carried out on ad hoc basis in the absence of formal rapid response plans. Even so, many of the essential elements of a rapid response plan were in fact implemented in the management of recent invasions of the non-indigenous tunicates Styela clava, Botryllus schlosseri, Botrylloides violaceus, and Ciona intestinalis in estuaries of Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. In this second of a three-part series, we examine case studies of the PEI tunicate invasions, as a step in formulating a rapid response framework that can be used in Canadian waters to manage future invasions by nuisance or noxious species.

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.
