Trematode diversity in freshwater pulmonate snails from the St Lawrence Wetlands, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study applies a molecular approach addressing the identification of trematode larval stages (sporocysts, rediae and cercariae) parasitising four freshwater pulmonate snails (Stagnicola elodes, Radix auricularia, Planorbella trivolvis and Physella gyrina) collected in the wetlands of St Lawrence River in Canada. A total of 20 genetically distinct species or species level lineages were identified via phylogenetic analyses based on, depending on the taxonomic group, mitochondrial (cox1 and nad1) and nuclear (ITS-5.8S-ITS2 and 28S rDNA) sequences integrated with data from the recently generated sequence libraries for the European and some North American trematodes. Phylogenetic analyses and distance-based approaches allowed molecular identification of six described/named and 14 putative new species. These included species of six digenean families (Clinostomidae, Derogenidae, Echinostomatidae, Plagiorchiidae, Schistosomatidae and Strigeidae).
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.
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.
