Spatial Distribution of Benthic Habitats and Ecological Patterns of the Mustard Hill Coral (Porites astreoides) in the Nearshore Waters of Grenada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objectives of this research were: 1) create a benthic map of the Sandy Island-Oyster Bed MPA (SIOBMPA); and 2) study populations of Porites astreoides (pa) in the Caribbean/Grenada. A benthic map was created using 127 truthing points and eCognition software. Mapped habitats in the SIOBMPA were: dense seagrass (25.74%); sand (23.32%); coral framework (5.88%); and others. Compiled survey data in the Caribbean revealed regional success of pa. Temporal changes in size, abundance and coverage and the relationship between benthic components, MPAs, and river outflows on pa coverage in Grenada was assessed. The abundance of pa fell (p<0.05), and colony size/coverage increased (p<0.05). Coverage of pa was negatively correlated with MPA status, rubble, sand, macroalgae, gorgonians, and weedy corals and positively with pavement, coralline algae, and stress-tolerant/generalist corals. This study for the first time has documented the distribution of benthic habitats in the SIOBMPA and population dynamics of pa.

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.
