Peer Review #2 of "Heat stress does not induce wasting symptoms in the giant California sea cucumber (Apostichopus californicus) (v0.1)"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Oceanic heatwaves have significant impacts on disease dynamics in marine ecosystems.Following an extreme heatwave in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada, a severe sea cucumber wasting event occurred that resulted in the mass mortality of Apostichopus californicus.Here, we sought to determine if heat stress in isolation could trigger wasting symptoms in A. californicus.We exposed sea cucumbers to i) a simulated marine heatwave (22ºC), ii) an elevated temperature treatment (17ºC), or iii) control conditions (12ºC).We measured the presence of skin lesions, mortality, posture maintenance, antipredator defences, spawning, and organ evisceration during the 79-hour thermal exposure, as well as 7-days postexposure.Both the 22°C and 17°C treatments elicited stress responses where individuals exhibited a reduced ability to maintain posture and an increase in stress spawning.The 22ºC

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.
