The effects of riparian disturbance on the condition and summer diets of age-0 brook trout (<i>Salvelinus fontinalis</i>) in three central Appalachian streams
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Forested headwater streams are dependent on their riparian zones for many critical goods and services. It is assumed that riparian disturbance affects stream food webs, but for some ecologically and economically important taxa like brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), little research has been performed. This study found that intense but spatially limited riparian disturbance resulted in significant but context-dependent changes in the diets and condition of age-0 brook trout in three central Appalachian streams. Dietary shifts in two of the streams appeared to enable age-0 brook trout to maintain or increase condition following riparian tree removal. A significant relationship between fish condition and the importance of Ephemeroptera as prey was observed. The lack of dietary shift to energetically important ephemeropterans coincided with decreased fish condition within one stream previously identified to be mildly impacted by acid precipitation. The context within which riparian disturbance occurs plays an important role in determining the overall impact to age-0 brook trout and should be an important consideration in future regulatory and management decisions.

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.
