Microhabitat distribution of protostelids in temperate habitats in northwestern Arkansas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Protostelids are unicellular slime molds that belong in a monophyletic group, the Eumycetozoa. A standardized technique was developed for the study of protostelid communities from the leaf litter and aerial microhabitats of forests and grasslands in northwestern Arkansas. Protostelium mycophaga Olive and Stoian and Soliformovum irregularis (Olive and Stoian) Spiegel were more abundant in grasslands, while Schizoplasmodiopsis pseudoendospora Olive, Martin, and Stoian, Nematostelium ovatum (Olive and Stoian) Olive and Stoian, and Echinosteliopsis oligospora Reinhard and Olive were more abundant in forests. Some species of protostelids exhibited a preference for either the aerial microhabitat, e.g., P. mycophaga and Soliformovum irregularis, or the litter microhabitat, e.g., N. ovatum and Schizoplasmodiopsis pseudoendospora. Other species, including Cavostelium apophysatum Olive, Tychosporium arachisporum Spiegel, Moore, and Feldman, and Schizoplasmodium cavostelioides, were present in both microhabitats.Key words: ecology, mycetozoans, protoctists, slime molds.

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.
