<i>Calonectria vigiensis</i> sp. nov. (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) associated with dieback and sudden-death symptoms of <i>Theobroma cacao</i> from Mérida state, Venezuela
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Calonectria vigiensis sp. nov. (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) is a newly described species associated with cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) in Mérida state, Venezuela. This new species was identified using morphological methods as well as DNA sequencing and multigene phylogenetic analyses. Based on phylogenetic analyses of a combined dataset including translation elongation factor 1-α (tef1), calmodulin (cmdA), and β-tubulin (btub) genes across closely related species within Calonectria, a new species was identified as Ca. vigiensis within the Calonectria naviculata species complex, but it was determined to be well-separated from genetically close species such as Calonectria multilateralis L. Lombard & Crous, Calonectria multinaviculata R.F. Alfenas, L. Lombard & Crous, and Calonectria naviculata Crous & M.J. Wingf. This work reports 1 previously undescribed fungal species (Ca. vigiensis) that is associated with dieback and sudden-death symptoms in T. cacao plantations in Mérida state, Venezuela.
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.
