Abstract
Three species within the Entomophthora muscae (Cohn) Fresenius complex (Entomophthora schizophorae Keller & Wilding, E. muscae s.str., and E. muscae "group B") were investigated for resting spore formation in vivo in the house fly (Musca domestica L.). Resting spores of E. muscae group B were experimentally induced from August to the beginning of February, while no resting spores were ever observed in E. schizophorae infected M. domestica or in flies infected by E. muscae s.str. originating from M. domestica. When newly dead fly cadavers containing E. muscae group B resting spores were kept moist, cystidia emerged from the abdomen; this is the first report of cystidia in the genus Entomophthora. Resting spore production was significantly affected by both temperature and E. muscae group B strain. More infected flies formed resting spores when kept 1 week at 10°C compared with constant exposure at 22°C, but the tendency of the different E. muscae group B strains to form resting spores persisted with shifting temperatures. After 4 months of incubation under natural winter conditions in Denmark, E. muscae group B resting spores germinated on water agar at 20°C with a 16 h light : 8 h dark photoperiod within 1 week, but no germ conidia were observed.Key words: Entomophthorales, Entomophthora muscae complex, Diptera, Musca domestica, resting spore formation, resting spore germination.

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
