Species delimitation of <i>Planosiphon gracilis</i> morphospecies (Scytosiphonaceae, Phaeophyceae) from Japan and the description of <i>Pl. nakamurae sp. nov.</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial cox1 and cox3 and chloroplast rbcL gene sequences revealed that the morphospecies of the brown alga Planosiphon gracilis (Scytosiphonaceae, Ectocarpales) from Japan is a complex of three distinct lineages (lineages I–III). Specimens from these lineages had the typical morphology of Pl. gracilis (i.e. flattened, linear, hollow, and gregarious erect thalli); thus, morphological discrimination among them was difficult in many cases. We observed large genetic divergences among the three lineages (c. 10% in cox1 and cox3). Moreover, we observed a reproductive isolating barrier between lineages I and II, despite the wide overlap in their geographic distribution. Our data, therefore, suggest that these three lineages are distinct species. Since lineage I included the holotype specimen of Pl. gracilis, this lineage was attributed to Pl. gracilis. Lineage III was phylogenetically close to Pl. complanatus from Canada with a 4.1% divergence in cox1. For lineage II, a new species name, Pl. nakamurae sp. nov., was proposed. This new species was also found in Argentina.

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.
