Engorgement success of parasitic mites on adult sexes of the colour polymorphic mountain stone weta
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this study, the prevalence and intensity of the ectoparasitic mite Wetapolipus ja‐miesoni was examined on two colour morphs of the mountain stone weta Hemideina maori , collected from the Rock and Pillar Range in the province of Otago, New Zealand. We scored success of mites by identifying whether mites were alive or dead on hosts. We determined whether these indices of mite success related to morph or sex of adult weta. Our data indicate that there were no differences in mite prevalence, or in intensity of mite parasitism, between males and females of the two weta morphs. However, the interaction between morph and sex accounted for significant variation in proportion of dead mites on hosts. Specifically, black females had proportionately fewer dead mites than black males, yellow males, or yellow females. These data did not corroborate earlier findings that yellow individuals had higher immune expression than did their black conspecifics following challenges with immuno‐genic Sephadex beads. This study underscores the importance of comparing results obtained by various methods when examining susceptibility of hosts to their parasites.

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.
