Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract. The polychaete Boccardia proboscidea has poecilogonous development that includes the production of both planktotrophic and adelphophagic young. In this study, we use scanning electron microscopy to analyse external morphogenesis of planktotrophic offspring with emphasis on early embryos, morphogenesis during metamorphosis, and the dynamic nature of larval structures during early ontogeny. Larval growth involves addition of terminal chaetigers and formation of segment‐specific structures such as cilia and chaetae. Our observations reveal that most ciliary bands are reduced or incomplete relative to those found in larvae of other polychaete families. We describe a small metatroch (consisting of only a few trochoblasts) in early embryos, which has not previously been reported in the Spionidae. The presence of the metatroch does not imply a function in opposed‐band feeding, as a food groove intermediate between the prototroch and metatroch is lacking. A neurotroch, inconsistently reported in the Spionidae, is also present and terminates in a ciliated pit. Many larval structures (e.g., presumptive sensory organs) are short‐lived, implying a shift towards early functionality of adult traits in larvae. Metamorphosis is gradual and occurs over the latter half of the larval life. The reduction of larval structures, and early development of adult traits, suggests an overall shift in morphology facilitating settlement and juvenile development.

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.
