Abstract
Platorchestia platensis (Amphipoda, Talitridae) was previously known ecologically as a wrack generalist, but here we describe a secondary driftwood ecotope for this species. The trophic dependence of driftwood-acclimated P. platensis on rotting wood was confirmed by successfully culturing it within driftwood, without further addition of food. The stranded driftwood in which P. platensis was found contained gribble burrows (round and of 0.6 to 5 mm diameter). We hypothesize that P. platensis used the empty gribble burrows for interspecific squatting (to gain initial entry to driftwood and for shelter). We found eleven driftwood depositories in a 230 km length of shoreline in Passamaquoddy Bay. The commonest driftwood was of spruce and eastern white cedar. The small marsh at Hartley Cove contained a driftwood depository, where the new driftwood ecotope was discovered. This site was studied temporally to understand how wind and tidal forces might affect import and export of driftwood.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
