Helminth Parasites of Golden Shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas (Pisces: Cyprinidae) from Ontario and Nova Scotia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Helminth parasite communities of golden shiner Notemigonus crysoleucas (Pisces: Cyprinidae) were characterized in north central (Lake Opeongo, Ontario, Canada) and far eastern (Vinegar Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada) localities within its natural range. Membership included 9 generalists (Allocreadium lobatum, Clinostomum complanatum, Apophallus brevis, Pliovitellaria wisconsinensis, Proteocephalus sp., Rhabdochona cascadilla, Camallanus oxycephalus, an unidentified nematode, and Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli) and 6 specialists (Octomacrum microconfibula, Dactylogyrus parvicirrus, Gyrodactylus sp., Phyllodistomum sp., Paradilepis sp. A, and Paradilepis sp. B). Infracommunity richness was 2.6 ± 1.2 in Ontario and 1.0 ± 0.8 in Nova Scotia. Component community richness was 13 in Ontario and 6 in Nova Scotia. The two helminth communities were made up of similar proportions of generalists and specialists. We suggest that comparable studies on the helminth communities of golden shiner from similar lakes more central in this host's North American range could examine whether there is decay in richness particularly when approaching the periphery of a host's range. This is the first report of helminth parasites from N. crysoleucas in Nova Scotia.
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
