Cliona tumula sp. nov., a conspicuous, massive Symbiodinium-bearing clionaid from the lower Florida Keys (USA)(Demospongiae: Hadromerida: Clionaidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cliona tumula sp. nov. is described from the Florida Keys, Florida, USA. The new species is compared to representative Cliona spp. from the Caribbean and Indo-Pacific. Cliona tumula sp. nov. is a massive, mound-shaped zooxanthellate clionaid with a central, apical cluster of numerous oscula, slender tylostyles with variable heads and abundant, delicate spirasters with compound spines that can be concentrated at the ends, which in this species can appear as mushroom-like caps, with a skeleton in typical clionaid arrangement. It is distinguished from congeners by its epibenthic growth form that extends for 20-40 cm above the substratum, centrally located concentration of oscula, and calcareous fragments obtained from surrounding sediment that C. tumula sp. nov. incorporates in tracts that run through the choanosome perpendicular to the ectosome. This species can be locally abundant in the Florida Keys in patch reefs near sand flats, but may be restricted to the lower keys as it has not been observed on reefs to the east.
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.
