Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Progressive changes in the attraction of waters harboring pre-imago populations of Aedes aegypti exposed to different levels of the entomopathogenic digenean Plagiorchis elegans to ovipositing conspecific females were assessed under conditions of optimal food availability. The impact of ovipositional preference and parasitic infection on population structure and development was investigated. Probabilities that larvae progress from one stage to the next or die within 24 h were calculated for all life stages. Exposure to P. elegans cercariae did not significantly affect the attractiveness of larval-holding waters. Ovipositional preference increased significantly with growing bio-mass of the larval population, with the event of pupation and, in some cases, with late instar mortality. Exposure to various levels of the parasite significantly increased mortality of all instars, but most of the damage caused by the parasite occurred in the form of increased pupal mortality and decreased adult emergence. Exposure to the parasite significantly reduced the number of adults produced yet did not impair larval development. Thus, larval recruitment into environments containing P. elegans remains high, the structure of larval populations remains relatively normal, but few adults are produced.

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.
