Acadia University: Invertebrate species distribution during winter conditions at the Windsor mudflat, an intertidal mudflat located in the upper Bay of Fundy, January - June, 1996
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Windsor mudflat was formed by sediment accretion following the 1970 construction of the Windsor Causeway across the formerly tidal Avon River, in Nova Scotia, Canada. The Avon Estuary drains into the Minas Basin of the Bay of Fundy. The mudflat is situated between the causeway and the confluence of the Avon and St. Croix Rivers, centered at latitude 44o 59.75' North, longitude 64o 08.75' West (Canadian Hydrographic Service, 1994). The portion of the mudflat used in this study lies on the eastern bank of the Avon River, approximately 400 m north of the east end of the Windsor Causeway and about 180 m northwest of the Windsor Tourist Bureau. At the time of the study (January to June, 1996), the study site extended northwest 78 m from the edge of the saltmarsh to the edge of the wastewater-outfall channel and straddled two parallel drainage channels, approximately 60 m apart, which extend perpendicularly from the saltmarsh to the sewage outfall channel. To determine the distribution and abundance of macroinvertebrates at the study site, random sampling was conducted during an ice-free period in February. Once most of the ice had disappeared in mid-March, the study area was sampled weekly for 12 weeks, to monitor the spring recolonization of the mudflat. A systematic sample design was used, to minimize disturbance of the soft sediment during repeated weekly visits. In addition, a few samples of sediment and ice were collected at ice-free spots early in the study, in order to explore sediment conditions and invertebrate abundance during the period of ice cover.
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.
