Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Summary 1. Employing field‐deployed mesocosms, we examined the effects of 12‐h pulse and 20‐day press (continuous) exposures of the common agricultural insecticide, imidacloprid, on nymph abundance, emergence patterns and adult body size of Epeorus spp. (Heptageniidae) and Baetis spp. (Baetidae). 2. In press exposures, reduced nymph density was driven by reduced survivorship; in pulse exposures, reduced nymph density may reflect increased emergence because of stress. 3. Once exposed to imidacloprid, Epeorus and Baetis mayflies developed less and emerged smaller than their control counterparts. Concentrations as low as 0.1 μ g L −1 (12‐h pulse) reduced head length in Baetis and thorax length in Epeorus . 4. In all of the Baetis and Epeorus examined, effects were only found in males. Male survivorship and body size can affect population dynamics. Sublethal doses of this widely applied agricultural insecticide have the potential to reduce reproductive success of mayfly populations.

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 distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
