Descriptions of two loxosomatids (Entoprocta), with emphasis on a relationship between symbiont attachment structures and host cuticle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Information is provided on a new species of Loxosomella, L. diopatricola, with unusual characteristics that is symbiotic with tubicolous polychaetes of the genus Diopatra. Plasticity is displayed in the morphology of the attachment organ: the new loxosomatid possesses a stalk terminating in either a persistent pedal gland or an enlarged adhesive disc. An individual animal develops one or other of the two stalk morphologies according to its exact location on the host and the thickness of the underlying cuticle. The host epidermis underlying individuals with an adhesive disc is, in turn, modified, suggesting that these symbionts may negatively affect their hosts. Females possessed a single ovary, nearly always on the left side. The larva lacks eyespots. Buds were borne only by males. A minute species of Loxosomella commensal on polychaetes of the genus Eunice, characterised by 6 tentacles and a very short stalk, is also described. A grooved foot is present in the bud and a pedal gland is retained in the adult. The larva apparently undergoes metamorphosis.
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.
