Abstract
The New Zealand mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) (NZ mudsnail) is indigenous to New Zealand and its adjacent islands. In New Zealand, the snails have been found in nearly every aquatic habitat including large river, forested tributary streams, thermal springs, ponds, glacial lakes and estuaries. Over the past 150 years, NZ mudsnails have spread in three continents. Three different clones of New Zealand mudsnails have been identified in the United States: the first clone is found in nine western States, having spread out from an initial population in the Snake River in Idaho; the second clone is found in Lakes Ontario, Erie and Superior and is the same as Clone A found in Europe; and the third has recently been identified in the Snake River near Bliss, Idaho. It is speculated that the eastern U.S. clone came in ballast water from Europe and the western U.S. clones came from the commercial movement of aquaculture products such as trout eggs or live fish from Australia or New Zealand. The introduced populations of these tiny snails (up to 6 mm) are mostly all female and the snails are live bearers. Males are present only rarely in North America. Densities of NZ

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
