The tardigrade and associated micrometazoa of the textured lungwort lichen, Lobariascrobiculata, in eastern Newfoundland, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Thirty-eight samples of the textured lungwort lichen, Lobaria scrobiculata, were collected from tree trunks in two sites on the Avalon Peninsula of the Island of Newfoundland, Canada. These samples yielded 340 tardigrade specimens the most numerous species being Hysibius convergens, Claxtonia merokensis ,Echiniscus wendti, Macrobiotus cf.hufelandi and Milnesium sp. Several species reckoned to be rare on the island as a result of previous studies of ground growing lichens and mosses were exceptionally common in Lobari ascrobiculata demonstrating the importance of tree trunks as an environment supporting tardigrades. Rotifers and nematodes were also recovered but were not as numerous as tardigrades. L. scrobiculata is often co-located with the rare boreal felt lichen Erioderma pedicellatum, also a foliose lichen, and it is hoped that the information from this present study can also be applied in the conservation of this rare lichen.
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.
