Ankylosis patterns in the postcranial skeleton and hyoid bones of the harbour porpoise (<i>Phocoena phocoena</i>) in the Baltic and North Sea
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The onset and timing of epiphyseal ankylosis in the vertebral column and flippers and ankylosis of the hyoid and sternal bones were studied in 350 skeletons of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) originating from the Baltic and North Sea and held in the collections of the Zoological Museum (University of Copenhagen), the Museum of Natural History (Gothenburg), the National Museum of Natural History (Stockholm), and the German Oceanographic Museum (Stralsund). Epiphyseal ankylosis in the vertebral column started in the anterior cervical region and then initiated around the 23rd to 26th caudal vertebrae from where it proceeded in both directions. The progression of vertebral epiphyseal ankylosis eventually terminated in the thoracic and lumbar regions. Epiphyseal ankylosis in the flippers began at the distal end of the humerus and the proximal ends of the radius and ulna. The timing of ankylosis in the flippers was more consistent across the specimens than the timing of vertebral ankylosis. Males and females had similar timing of ankylosis in the vertebral column and the flippers. Complete fusion of the hyoid and sternal bones occurred within the first year of life in most specimens. The early development of the hyoid apparatus may be linked to use of suction in feeding.

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.
