Trichomycetes from Governor's Lake and Lake Micmac within the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Trichomycetes are endosymbiotic fungi and protists that attach to the gut lining of insects and other arthropods. The vast majority of trichomycetes have been reported from lotic habitats (primarily flowing streams), whereas lentic habitats are relatively unexplored. Despite being largely understudied, lentic waters should be viable habitats for trichomycetes because insect types commonly colonized by trichomycetes in lotic systems are also found in lentic habitats. As part of a larger study, two lakes in separate watersheds within the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada, were sampled. Six species of trichomycetes were found, including three new species, Smittium guttisporum sp. nov. R.T. William and Strongman, Stachylina serpula sp. nov. R.T. William and Strongman, and Stachylina zeppelin sp. nov. R.T. William and Strongman, all isolated from dipteran (Chironomidae) hosts. A new continental record for Smittium bulbosporophorus L.G. Valle & Santam., previously only reported from Spain, is documented from Governor's Lake, Timberlea, Nova Scotia. Smittium dipterorum Lichtw., known from Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico was also collected from the Governor's Lake site, establishing a new Canadian record.
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.

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.
