Abstract
Abstract In marine invertebrates, polymorphism and polyphenism in mode of development are known as “poecilogony.” Understanding the environmental correlates of poecilogony and the developmental mechanisms that produce it could contribute to a better understanding of evolutionary transitions in mode of development. However, poecilogony is rare in marine invertebrates, with only ten recognized, well‐documented cases. Five examples occur in sacoglossan gastropods, and five occur in spionid polychaetes. Here, we document the eleventh case, and the first in a caenogastropod mollusc. Females of Calyptraea lichen collected in the field or reared in the laboratory often produce broods of planktotrophic larvae. They can also be collected with mixed broods, in which each capsule contains planktotrophic larvae, nurse embryos, and adelphophagic embryos. Adelphophages eat the nurse embryos and hatch as short‐lived lecithotrophic larvae, or even as juveniles. Mitochondrial COI and 16S DNA sequences for females with different types of broods differ by less than 0.5%, supporting conspecific status. Some females collected in the field with mixed broods subsequently produced planktotrophic broods, demonstrating that females can produce two different kinds of broods. Calyptraea lichen is therefore polyphenic in two ways: mode of development can vary among embryos within a capsule, and females can change the types of broods they produce.

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 it
