Gastropod surveys in south-eastern Victoria Island
Bibliographic record
Abstract
As the range of the muskox lungworms Umingmakstrongylus pallikuukensis and Varestrongylus nov. sp. on Victoria Island, Nunavut have recently expanded, a critical look at the distribution and abundance of their gastropod intermediate hosts is imperative for identifying regions susceptible to future parasite colonization. During July-September 2013, we sampled for gastropods at five terrestrial sites and five freshwater sites on south-eastern Victoria Island, near the hamlet of Cambridge Bay. At each terrestrial site four habitats were described and sampled: these habitats were fen meadows, shrub-sedge meadows, and moist upland and mesic habitats. Gastropods were surveyed systematically using two terrestrial techniques, a dampened mat technique and a turf flooding technique. At the freshwater sites we opportunistically sampled several lakes, rivers, streams and marshes using a dip-net. Terrestrial surveys were conducted over three nights and any gastropods present were collected daily. One species of terrestrial slug, Deroceras laeve, was found during the surveys. It was present in low densities across three of the habitats: fen meadows, shrub-sedge meadows and moist upland habitat. We did not find any freshwater gastropods or snail shells during the surveys. Data are available in both excel and csv formats.
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.
