Foraminifera Associated With Swirled <i>Spartina Patens</i> Beds on Perched Marshes Along the Rocky Coastline of Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Perched marshes in Lunenburg County differ in exposure to prevailing waves (from most to least exposed: Crescent Beach, Blue Rocks, Feltzen South). We sampled the middle marsh, recording replicates’ dried masses. In picking stage 1 (PS1), the first 400 foraminifera, whether agglutinated or calcareous-walled, were picked and identified. From these data we calculated the Shannon Function H and compared the between-locale signals of benthic foraminifera using a relative-dominance index, ACW, for agglutinated and calcareous-walled foraminifera. Crescent Beach was a distinct locale with much medium-grained quartz sand and abundant allochthonous calcareous foraminifera (hence ACW &lt; 1). The other sites’ ACWs ranged from ∼50–100. There was a significant negative ACW:residue mass correlation. In picking stage 2 (PS2), the remaining agglutinated foraminifera were picked. The Feltzen South perched marsh yielded only Miliammina fusca, perhaps reflecting high %N and %C. Meanwhile, Trochammina inflata was abundant at Crescent Beach and Blue Rocks.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
