Free-living ciliated protist diversity in the freshwater ecosystems of Delhi, India
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A series of investigations was carried out on the freshwater free-living ciliate fauna from sixteen sites along the Yamuna River and various freshwater bodies in the Delhi region. These studies, conducted over the past 35 years, focused on the identification and documentation of ciliate diversity based on live-cell observations and silver staining techniques. In total, 104 species were documented, both from ongoing studies and published literature, representing 9 classes, 19 orders, 38 families, and 61 genera. Of these, one species, Sterkiella multicirrata (Li et al., 2018), is a new record for the Indian fauna. A large number of Spirotrich species were identified, along with a smaller proportion of ciliates belonging to classes Heterotrichea, Litostomatea, Phyllopharyngea, Oligohymenophorea, Prostomatea, and Colpodea. The highest ciliate diversity was observed in water samples from the Okhla Bird Sanctuary (OBS). Ciliate diversity and distribution recorded have been listed along with some photomicrographs.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
