Patterns of kleptoparasitism and inquilinism in social and non‐social <i>Dunatothrips</i> on Australian Acacia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract 1. Australian Acacia thrips and their parasitic exploiters provide a novel system for analysing fundamental questions about host–parasite evolution and ecology. 2. In this study, colony collections were used to examine interactions between members of the genus Dunatothrips and the diverse assemblage of parasitic thrips that invade domiciles constructed by the host on various species of Acacia . 3. Dunatothrips parasites adopt a range of strategies for exploiting their hosts, including lethal fighting, host eviction, and cohabitation. 4. Social Dunatothrips ( D. aneurae and D. skene ) were more frequently parasitised than non‐social D. gloius , which could be related to differences in social organisation or the fact that D. gloius has shifted onto a novel host that is distantly related to other Dunatothrips ’ hosts. 5. Parasitism rates of D. aneurae and D. skene domiciles were high (46% and 51% respectively), and were positively density dependent.
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.
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.
