Abstract
Spruce budworm (Choristoneura) species survive sub-zero winter temperatures by producing antifreeze proteins (AFPs) encoded by a multigene family of short and long isoforms. We report in this study the first analysis of antifreeze proteins from related Choristoneura sister species. The additional thirty amino acid insert found in the longer AFP isoforms maintains the proteins beta-helix and original fifteen amino acid (Thr-X-Thr) repeat motif. Analysis of the beta-helix region shows more divergent residues surround the conserved Thr residues. Maintaining the beta-helix structure and conserved Thr residues appear to be paramount for AFP function and surviving sub-zero winter temperatures. Two other species within the same lepidopteran clade, Ditrysia, do not appear to contain any AFP-like sequences.

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 it
