Mollusca, Gastropoda, Ellobiidae, Carychium minimum, and Ferussaciidae, Cecilioides acicula: Distribution extension and first provincial records of two introduced land snails in Ontario, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The distributions of introduced terrestrial gastropod mollusks in Ontario, Canada are only partially known, and the main references on introduced land snails and slugs in the province (Pilsbry 1939;1940;1946; 1948;Oughton 1948;Chichester and Getz 1973;Grimm and Wiggins 1974;and Dundee 1975) are incomplete.Of the several species of introduced snails known from Ontario by the late F. Wayne Grimm (personal communication to MJO, 8 December 1996), we recently have been able to verify two of them, Carychium minimum and Cecilioides acicula.Although these species have been known from Ontario for about a decade (personal communication to MJO, 8 December 1996), records of both have been unpublished until now.The material originally seen by Mr. Grimm has not been found in his collection that is now being curated for deposit in the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, and we have been unable to determine if it was deposited in another collection.The Ontario record of C. acicula also represents a new species record for Canada.
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.
