Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This picture shows intertidal algae (Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus) completely encased in ice during a winter low tide on the Gulf of St Lawrence coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. I have seen this phenomenon on various occasions, although how often it occurs during the winter remains to be determined. Ice encasement could influence these canopy-forming algae both positively and negatively. On the one hand, air temperature can be as low as –20°C on this coast in winter, but a stable ice cover prevents temperatures on rocky intertidal substrates from dipping that low. Thus, ice-encased seaweeds could be similarly insulated and might have a higher chance of survival as a result. On the other hand, waves could break some ice-encased algal fragments and remove biomass from these canopies. Whether removed algal fragments would simply die or aid in the dispersal of these algae is also unknown. Overall, the net influence of ice encasement on these seaweeds could depend on the prevailing environmental conditions, making these organisms interesting subjects of study for winter intertidal ecology.

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.

Not 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.
