Qualitative analyses of larval oral exudate from eastern and western spruce budworms (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A two-choice feeding bioassay was used to investigate the effects of dilution, centrifugation, storage and autoclaving on the repellency of the oral exudate of eastern and western spruce budworms, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.) and C. occidentalis Free., to their respective conspecifics. The exudate from insects reared on either artificial diet or foliage was active at a volume equal to the amount emitted by one larva when disturbed with a pipet in the laboratory, but repellency was lost at lower doses. Centrifugation did not partition the exudate into active and inactive fractions. Exudate from both diet- and foliage-reared insects was active for at least 48 h at room temperature. However, after being frozen for one month, exudate from diet-reared insects was still active, while that from foliage-reared insects was not. Key words: Choristoneura fumiferana; Choristoneura occidentalis; spruce budworm; oral exudate; regurgitant; epideictic pheromone

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.
