Coleopteran burrows from foreshore settings in Florianópolis, Brazil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
While insects are versatile animals capable of occupying harsh environmental conditions, not many are present in the marine environment, and has generally been discounted as trace makers in such settings. During the intra-congress field trip of ICHNIA 2024, however, we observed multiple surficial burrows on foreshore sediments that were constructed by beetle larvae. While there are several reports of insect burrows from backshores, eolian dunes, salt marshes, tidal creeks, washover fans, and distributary channels, we are not aware of ichnological studies of these burrows from the foreshore. Moreover, some of these studies failed to identify or mention the entity of the trace makers, and have not stressed enough the significance of burrowing marine insects on palichnology and paleoecology. Some entomologists on the other hand have recognized insects in marine environments, and some insect groups (such as Coleoptera and Diptera) have burrowing larvae in brackish to marine environments. Understanding the burrow morphologies of marine insects compared to freshwater insects or other marine invertebrates may help us understand the ecological significance and evolutionary history of insects in marine habitats.

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.
