Abstract
In ecology, there is an increasing amount of research dedicated to understanding how intraspecific genetic diversity can extend beyond the population level to influence the assembly of communities and the functioning of ecosystems. In this issue of Molecular Ecology, Koh et al. (2012) take this exploration to a new level using bacterial biofilms and protozoan grazers. They show that there is heritable variation in the phenotypes of different variants of biofilms of Serratia marcescens and that these strains display complementarity when combined in a diverse assemblage. Mixtures of variants were significantly more resistant to protozoan grazing than either wild-type or variant biofilms grown in monocultures. While similar biodiversity effects of genotype mixtures have been observed in other systems, Koh et al. (2012) link phenotype variation of the biofilms to a single nucleotide polymorphism in one regulatory gene. Importantly, the authors demonstrate that minimal changes in a genotype can result in substantial shifts in interspecific ecological interactions.

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.
