Control of dormancy by lipid metabolism in Calanus finmarchicus: a population model test
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The life cycle of Calanus finmarchicus includes a prolonged dormancy phase that allows it to avoid the unfavourable environmental conditions typical of the upper ocean from late summer to early spring in the subarctic North Atlantic. Recent demographic, physiological and genetic evidence supports the hypothesis of a crucial role for lipid accumulation and metabolism in the control of dormancy. We present a stage-resolving biomass model of C. finmarchicus, implementing a mechanistic approach of the control of dormancy based on this lipid hypothesis. The dormancy process obeys 2 rules: (1) active copepodite stage Vs (C5s) enter dormancy when the ratio of lipid to total body carbon exceeds some threshold, and (2) diapausing C5s exit dormancy when their lipid storage approaches a lower threshold. We implemented the model into a 1-dimensional water column framework and compared our results to 2 consecutive years of observations of stage-specific copepodite abundances and lipid content of C5 from the Northwest Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada. The model produced realistic phenology and temporal patterns in lipid content of C. finmarchicus in response to the observed environmental forcing. Interannual variations in the timing of entry and contributions of different generations to the overwintering stock were shown. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis of a lipid-mediated control of entrance and exit from dormancy in C. finmarchicus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
