Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Laboratory populations of a green alga cultured in the dark with an organic substrate evolved into efficient heterotrophs with faster growth, higher fitness, and increased responsiveness to substrate concentration. Their phenotypes were almost entirely attributable to selection, rather than to history or ancestry. The fitness of evolved lines in the light was uniformly depressed, presumably through the accumulation of conditionally deleterious genes governing photosynthesis. Some evolved lines were no longer able to grow in the light and are thereby permanently isolated from their ancestors. Specialized autotrophs and heterotrophs may often evolve in algae through long-term shifts in the conditions of growth.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
