Communities and paleoecology of Eifelian (mid-Devonian) brachiopods from the Bird Fiord Formation of Arctic Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The carbonatesiliciclastic strata in the Bird Fiord Formation of Arctic Canada contain a diverse brachiopod-dominated biota. A collection of 46 381 brachiopods from 126 sites at 35 localities on Ellesmere Island, North Kent Island, Grinnell Peninsula (Devon Island), and Bathurst Island includes 22 species assigned to 21 genera. Many of these taxa are endemic to Arctic Canada. Each collection of brachiopods is typically dominated by only one or two taxa. Cluster analysis, based on binary data, shows that the brachiopods can be divided into an AtrypaElythyna community group and a SpinatrypinaDesquamatia community group. The former encompasses the AtrypaElythyna and AtrypaElythynaPerryspirifer communities, and the latter includes the SpinatrypinaDesquamatia and SpinatrypinaDesquamatiaCranaena communities. The distribution of these communities was primarily related to water depth. Thus, the AtrypaElythyna community group, which belongs to benthic assemblage 3, lived in a shallow, proximal-shelf environment. The SpinatrypinaDesquamatia community group, which belongs to benthic assemblage 4, lived in a deeper, distal-shelf environment.
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.
