Influence of water deficit on the induced and constitutive responses of pines to infection by mountain pine beetle fungal associates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The ongoing outbreak of mountain pine beetle (MPB; Dendroctonus ponderasae Hopkins) and its associated pathogenic fungi (e.g.Grosmannia clavigera [Robinson-Jeffrey and Davidson] Zipfel, de Beer and Wingfield) in western North America has resulted in the loss of more than 13 million hectares of pines since 1999 in British Columbia alone [1].MPB has principally attacked lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.ex Loud.var.latifolia) in British Columbia.However, since 2006 MPB has spread into northern Alberta, where lodgepole pine hybridizes with jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) [2].Few studies have compared lodgepole and jack pine defense responses, but given that lodgepole pine and MPB share a co-evolutionary history [1] whereas jack pine is a new host for MPB [2], it is reasonable to expect that differences might exist.Some regions affected by the current outbreak have experienced drought conditions during the last decade.Water deficit can limit carbon assimilation, potentially increasing tree susceptibility to MPB and their symbiotic fungi [3].We are testing the hypotheses that lodgepole and jack pine defenses against MPB and G. clavigera differ, and that water deficit affects these responses.

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.
