Isolation by distance and non-identical patterns of gene flow within two river populations of the freshwater fish Rutilus rutilus (L. 1758)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The spatial distribution of organisms is maintained by a combination of in situ reproduction and dispersal of conspecifics from elsewhere within its habitable range. The determination of dispersal origin and sub-population connectivity has a vital role to play in forming effective management policies. The common roach ( Rutilus rutilus ) is an important component of the economically and socially valuable recreational fishery and represents a well-studied member of the Cyprinidae. Microsatellite allele data were used to investigate hypothetically variant levels of microevolutionary structuring and isolation-by-distance (IBD) in in the Rivers Stour and Thames. A strong signal of IBD was found in the Stour, probably due to the limited capacity for unrestricted bidirectional dispersal in this river compared with the Thames. A weak inference of IBD in the Thames is likely erroneous and effected by a strong localised genetic signal from a recent stocking event. Whilst we found significantly genetically divergent upstream areas in the River Stour, a strong signal of IBD remained when the headwater sub-population was removed, suggesting that that the signal is not biased by non-equilibrium conditions in upstream reaches. We discuss these results with reference to the management of aquatic bioresources and emphasise the idiosyncrasy that aquatic biota and hydrological complexity may imprint upon patterns of biodiversity within any given system.

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.
