Variation in morphology among populations of threespine stickleback ( <i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i> ) from western Newfoundland, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Freshwater populations of threespine stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) have diverged from their marine ancestor and show extensive variation among populations throughout most of their range. However, phenotypes of freshwater populations from the east coast of North America does not appear to demonstrate extensive variability observed throughout the rest of the species’ range. The relative young age of east coast North American populations may explain the apparent lack of freshwater variability. On the other hand, populations in this part of the species’ range have not received the level of attention as have populations throughout the rest of its range and the low level of variability observed may simply reflect lack of data for this region. We examined morphological traits (including linear measurements of body armor and body shape) of stickleback from 52 locations representing marine and freshwater populations along the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada. We found that variability in morphological traits among freshwater populations was much more extensive than previously assumed and similar to patterns observed throughout the rest of the species’ range.

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.
