Observations on the behavior of Monochamus scutellatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in northern British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The location, behavior, and sex were recorded for 329 whites potted sawyers, Monochamus scutellatus (Say), on horizontal host logs in a logyard in Ft. Nelson BC. Over 65% of all males and females observed, and 58% of oviposition, occurred on the sides of horizontal host logs. This behavior would minimize the costs of desiccation and slow development of progeny on the upper and lower sections of logs, respectively. The sex ratio was male-biased throughout the season, rising to 4.1 males per female on 5 August 2000. Copulation and oviposition peaked on 9 and 21 July, respectively. By 5 August copulation was no longer observed. A late-season increase in the proportion of mobile males may represent a change in male reproductive strategy from selecting a preferred oviposition site and waiting for female arrival, to active pursuit of increasingly scarce females.
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.
