A multilocus molecular phylogeny for Chaetostoma clade genera and species with a review of Chaetostoma (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from the Central Andes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The rubbernose-pleco genus Chaetostoma comprises 47 currently valid and many undescribed species distributed along\nAtlantic and Pacific slopes of the Andes Mountains from Panama to southern Peru, the Coastal Mountains of\nVenezuela, and drainages of the Guiana and Brazilian shields. We present a five-locus molecular phylogeny for\n21 described and six undescribed species of Chaetostoma spanning the geographic range of the genus. Bayesian and\nmaximum likelihood analyses found Chaetostoma to be well supported as monophyletic and sister to a clade of central\nand northern Andean genera that have also been hypothesized to be closely related based on morphology (i.e.,\nAndeancistrus, Cordylancistrus, Dolichancistrus, Leptoancistrus, and Transancistrus). Species of Chaetostoma were divided\ninto a trichotomy consisting of: a Pacific Coast, Central American, Magdalena Basin, Lake Valencia, and Guiana Shield\nclade; a western Orinoco, Lake Maracaibo, and Lake Valencia clade; and a widespread upper Amazon/Orinoco clade\ninclusive of a single species on the Brazilian Shield. We also conducted a systematic review of species from the central\nAndes of northern Peru and Ecuador.

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.
