Complete mitochondrial genomes and phylogeny of two rare whale species: True’s (<i>Mesoplodon mirus</i>: True 1913) and Sowerby’s (<i>Mesoplodon bidens</i>: Sowerby 1804) beaked whales
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Beaked whales of the genus Mesoplodon are rarely encountered and information on their basic biology is lacking. We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of True’s (Mesoplodon mirus) and Sowerby’s (Mesoplodon bidens) beaked whales to high depth (>120X). The length of the de novo assembled genomes was 16,342 bp (M. mirus) and 16,347 bp (M. bidens), with GC compositions of 37.7 and 39.2%, respectively. A maximum-likelihood phylogeny supports the hypotheses that M. mirus is most closely related to Mesoplodon europaeus, and that M. bidens is the basal species of the genus. These data provide molecular resources that will aid in further understanding population genetics and evolution in this rare and poorly understood group of cetaceans.
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.
