Reproductive isolation due to the genetic incompatibilities between<i>Thrichomys pachyurus</i>and two subspecies of<i>Thrichomys apereoides</i>(Rodentia, Echimyidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We tested intrinsic reproductive isolation between 3 taxa of the South American caviomorph rodent Thrichomys (Rodentia, Echimyidae): T. pachyurus, T. apereoides subsp. apereoides and T. apereoides subsp. laurentius. They were mated in captivity and produced viable progeny. Some F1 hybrid females were fertile, whereas all F1 males were sterile. Histological examination revealed meiotic arrest at the primary spermatocyte stage. No sperm was detected in testes or epididymes. Electron microscopic analysis of surface spread synaptonemal complexes revealed a complete failure of chromosome pairing in F1 hybrids of T. pachyurus with T. apereoides subsp. laurentius and T. apereoides subsp. apereoides. In the male hybrids between T. apereoides subsp. apereoides and T. apereoides subsp. laurentius, meiosis did not proceed beyond diplotene, although all of the chromosomes, including heteromorphic ones, paired in an orderly fashion. Backcross males with homomorphic karyotypes showed segregation in meiosis progression. This indicates that male hybrid sterility is due to genetic, but not chromosomal, incompatibility of the parental taxa.

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.
