The mangrove killifish, Kryptolebias marmoratus, is a highly unique vertebrate species, known for its unusual sexual systems. It is one of two known self-fertilizing simultaneous hermaphroditic vertebrates, alongside the related Kryptolebias ocellatus1,2. While individuals can be born as primary males, most are born as hermaphrodites3 and some turn into secondary males later in life4. K. marmoratus is exceptionally tolerant of harsh and variable environmental conditions. This includes emersion as well as widely ranging salinities and temperatures5-7. Embryos can enter diapause, a state of arrested development, when conditions are unfavourable8,9.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
