A new diatom (Bacillariophyta) species—Fallacia cinariana sp. nov.—from Kaklık Cave in the Western Anatolian Karst Region, Republic of Türkiye
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new Fallacia cinariana sp. nov. is described from a unique extreme microenvironment in the highly calcareous Kaklık Cave, Pamukkale Travertines in the Western Anatolian Karst Region, Türkiye with calcareous (pH 8.2) rich waters. Valves of F. cinariana are small (<15 um), linear to linear-elliptic with rounded ends. As with the type species for the genus (F. pygmaea (Kützing) Stickle & D.G.Mann), the axial area is composed of a narrow raphe sternum and valve face slits/occlusions on either side, 500–900 nm length. The striae are biseriate and form around a small round to elliptic central area. Falacia subhamulata Lange-Bertalot from Europe is considered the closest morphologically aligned species being larger, wider, broader central area, elliptic to round valve face slits/opening, and fewer biseriate striae. Other comparable taxa include Fallacia subhamulata (Grunow) D.G.Mann, F. angarae, Metzeltin, Kulikovskiy & Lange-Bertalot, F. helenensis (Schulz) D.G.Mann, F. lange-bertalotii Reichardt, F. lenzii Lange-Bertalot and F. pseudohelensis Kulikovskiy, Metzeltin & Lange-Bertalot. Among them, Fallacia lange-bertalotii (originally described from the Europe) co-occurs in Kaklik Cave and is similar, but F. cinariana has different morphological characters and distinct valve face slits/occlusions.

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.
