Living in Atlantic forest fragments: life habits, behaviour, and colony structure of the cockroach<i>Monastria biguttata</i>(Dictyoptera, Blaberidae, Blaberinae) in Espirito Santo, Brazil
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The life habits, behaviour, and colony structure of the cockroach Monastria biguttata were studied during 2 years in remnants of the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Monastria biguttata was abundant, conspicuous, and ubiquitous in the semideciduous forest in the north of Espirito Santo, Brazil. It was found in forest fragments of various sizes and disturbance levels, but never in the surrounding plantations. Adults and nymphs were found in colonies of 2.8–11.6 cockroaches, grasping the bark of the underside of dead trunks that were clumped on the ground, in the forest understory. The cockroaches were very sedentary, moved extremely slowly, and immediately froze when disturbed. Based on their brooding behaviour and aggregated distribution on trunks, they appeared to be gregarious with only a slow spread during nymphal development. Brood birth took place during the rainy period, and nymphs developed into adults in a minimum of 2 years. Brood size and egg number in oothecae were not very high (23.0 ± 1.5 and 31.1 ± 1.7 (mean ± SE), respectively). All these traits were analysed to understand the survival of species in forest fragments.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
