Molecular phylogenetic relationships among Asiatic shrewlike moles inferred from the complete mitogenomes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Asiatic shrewlike moles are distributed almost entirely in south-west China; four of the five species of the genus Uropsilus, Uropsilus aequodonenia, U. andersoni, U. investigator and U. soricipes are endemic to China. Excluding the five species, three cryptic species (U. sp. 1, U. sp. 2 and U. sp. 3) and two putative species, U. nivatus and U. atronates, are recognized. The phylogenetic relationships among the species remain unclear and these preclude investigations of their potential adaptations for living in high altitudes. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial DNA genomes of three species of Asiatic shrewlike moles (U. aequodonenia, U. andersoni and U. nivatus). Phylogenetic analyses of 16 published and our de novo mitogenomes yield single, robust trees with the relationships being (U. soricipes (U. sp. 1 (U. nivatus (U. andersoni, U. aequodonenia)))). Further, the tree verifies the validity of recently described U. aequodonenia. Analyses of selection pressure suggest that the 13 mtDNA-encoding genes of species in the genus Uropsilus all have experienced strong purifying selection, although ATP8 accumulated a higher ratio of non-synonymous substitutions than the other loci, which might reflect adaptation of the genus Uropsilus to different environments/elevations.

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.
