Ossicle development of the crinoid <i>Florometra serratissima</i> through larval stages
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Crinoids are the oldest living class of echinoderm and sister group to the remaining eleutherozoan clade and so are key to discussions on the evolution and development of the echinoderm skeleton. Here we present the intraspecific variation of ossicle development of the feather star Florometra serratissima (A.H. Clark, 1907) during its three larval stages: doliolaria, cystidean, and early pentacrinoid. To induce settlement, larvae were cultured on a sea table in glass bowls containing coralline algae. The soft tissues of 60 larvae were dissolved to isolate and to observe the ossicles with compound microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. From the late doliolaria stage to 56-day-old pentacrinoids, a total of four types of ossicle developed: oral plates, basal plates, columnar stalk ossicles, and an attachment disk. Occasionally, an additional plate was found under the basal plates, which may represent a vestigial infrabasal plate. The shape of the attachment disk was plastic to accommodate the substrate. Crinoid ossicle development is variable in size, shape, and number, and the timing of development is asynchronous; traits that may have contributed to the early rapid radiation and phenotypic disparity of echinoderms.

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.
