Trichomycetes from the Columbia Mountains, British Columbia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Trichomycetes are a group of fungi and protists living in the guts of immature aquatic insects and other arthropods. The nature of this relationship is poorly understood but it is mostly described as obligately commensalistic, with the microbes exploiting a unique microhabitat. Collections of trichomycetes were made from freshwater insects in aquatic habitats near Castlegar in the Columbia Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountain Range in southeastern British Columbia. The collection sites were at altitudes ranging from 435 to 935 m and were made in July 2006. A total of 32 species were recorded including four new species, Harpella filispora sp. nov., Orphella columbiensis sp. nov., Smittium nodiradicatum sp. nov., and Smitium basiangustatum sp. nov. described here. These are the first records from Western Canada and two, Austrosmittium patagonicum and Glotzia distorta are new continental records. These findings are compared to reports from the western edge of the Rocky Mountain range near the Boise Mountains in Idaho and the Southern Rockies in Colorado.
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.
