Abstract
Neodenticula seminae is a very important member of modern diatom assemblages in the Bering Sea and at middle to high latitudes of the North Pacific. In the North Atlantic, this species was considered extinct until it was recorded in high abundance in the 2001 spring phytoplankton bloom of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Eastern Canada. Here, we discuss some of the most distinctive features of its morphology, including variation in some characters between the subarctic Pacific and the Gulf of St. Lawrence specimens. Most importantly, we observed that the deck and basal ridges, and the solid-walled costae (formerly known as primary pseudosepta) characteristic of N. seminae were present in the subarctic Pacific material, but were absent or vestigial in the Gulf of St. Lawrence material and in cultures from both regions. This morphological variation was most likely due to differences in physico–chemical water properties between the subarctic Pacific and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer regions of the nuclear ribosomal DNA showed that the strains of N. seminae collected in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the subarctic Pacific clustered in two sister clades, but differed from each other only slightly more than the variation among the subarctic Pacific strains. These results confirmed the reappearance of N. seminae in the NW Atlantic after an absence of ∼0.8 Ma. In addition, the phylogenetic analyses based on the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal DNA positioned N. seminae firmly within the Bacillariaceae (i.e. diatoms with a fibulate raphe system) and proved a close relationship to species of Fragilariopsis.

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
