Nontarget Herbivory by a Weed Biocontrol Insect is Limited to Spillover
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The biocontrol weevil Mogulones crucifer, released in Canada since 1997 but not approved in the USA, is known to sporadically use native nontarget relatives of its target weed for feeding, oviposition, and larval development. Catton et al. released M. crucifer in outbreak densities in patches of mixed target and nontarget plants and nontarget plants in isolation from the target weed to determine if this nontarget herbivory is a spillover effect, or if the weevil establishes and sustains populations on the native plant. A Mogulones crucifer weevil feeds on a developing flowering stem of the native nontarget plant Hackelia micrantha eight days after a biocontrol release in Canada. Photo by Haley A. Catton. The photograph illustrates the article “Nontarget herbivory by a weed biocontrol insect is limited to spillover, reducing the chance of population-level impacts” by Haley A. Catton, Robert G. Lalonde, and Rosemarie A. De Clerck-Floate, published in Ecological Applications 25(2):517–530, March 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-0250.1

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.
