A morphological examination of sympatric cisco forms in four lakes with specific reference to the occurrence of shortjaw cisco (Coregonus zenithicus) in Manitoba
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The shortjaw cisco (Coregonus zenithicus) is a widespread species ranging from the Great Lakes region, northwest to Great Slave Lake. Beyond the Great Lakes region, the validity of this species has been questioned due to genetic and morphological variability. Ciscoes were collected from four lakes reported to contain putative C. zenithicus (Lake Athapapuskow, George Lake, and Clearwater Lake, MB; and Reindeer Lake, SK). An examination of gillraker count and arrangement, jaw position, body size, and dorsal colouration was used to initially identify cisco forms within each lake. Multivariate analyses including Principal Component Analysis and Discriminant Analysis incorporating additional meristic and morphometric characters were used to examine within-lake and between-lake variation. Sympatric low and high gillraker forms were found within each lake. The low forms were found to conform to populations of C. zenithicus reported in the literature and the high forms were found to be consistent with descriptions of C. artedi.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
