Cytogenetics of collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus) I. Meiotic behavior and evolution of the neo-XY sex-chromosome system
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electron-microscopic analysis of surface-spread synaptonemal complexes at pachynema and light-microscopic analysis of chromosomal configurations at diakinesis/metaphase I corroborate the hypothesized neo-XY derivation of the sex chromosomes of Dicrostonyx groenlandicus. Although an intact neo-XY pairing configuration was observed in a relatively small percentage of the pachytene cells in each individual, the high incidence of neo-XY bivalents at diakinesis/metaphase I suggests that the other observed pachytene configurations were artifacts of the physical stresses of the surface-spreading procedure. The very low frequency (0.6%) of univalent neo-X and neo-Y chromosomes at diakinesis and metaphase I is attributable to consistent synapsis and recombination between their homologous autosomally derived segments. The resultant stability of the sex bivalent through metaphase I may have increased the efficacy of sex-chromosome segregation, and thereby played a mechanistic role in the evolutionary incorporation of the neo-XY sex-chromosome constitution in D. groenlandicus.

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.
