Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Running water habitats develop in concert with the age of hotspot volcanic islands. This study tracks the geologic and hydrologic processes involved in this development for the Society Islands, French Polynesia. Over a period of about 6 million years, these islands have rafted northwest on the Pacific Plate and eroded from high islands with many stream systems to atolls with no running water. Black flies that require running water for their immature stages have undergone a species radiation into a wide array of running water habitats on Tahiti. From there, black flies appear to have dispersed to older islands farther west. The reduction of running water habitat with the island's increasing age has had consequences for the biogeography of these insects. The habitat generalist species are the most widespread. Species with dependence on cascades cannot colonize islands where cascade habitats have eroded away.

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.

Not 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.
