Insects of Hawaii, Volume 16, Hawaiian Carabidae (Coleoptera), Part 1: Introduction and Tribe Platynini
Bibliographic record
Abstract
J. K. Liebherr and E. C. Zimmerman, University of Hawaii Press, Honolulu, 2000, 494 pages, price unknown, ISBN 0-8248-2356-7 Following in the grand tradition of P. J. Darlington, Jr. (The Carabid Beetles of New Guinea in four volumes) and Carl H. Lindroth (The ground beetles of Canada and Alaska in six volumes), Liebherr and Zimmermann have embarked upon a long and arduous task of documenting the carabid beetle fauna of this small chain of islands (16,765 km2) in the middle Pacific, in three planned tomes, the first of which is now available. Although, when landmass is compared with New Guinea or Canada and Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands are but tiny dots in a big ocean. Yet, this first volume covers 129 native species (Genus Blackburnia) and three adventive species in as many genera, fully one-fourth the known number of species in New Guinea and one-tenth that of Canada and Alaska in an area less than 1% of the landmass of either. The evolution of these Blackburnia carabids in the Hawaiian Islands has been truly remarkable, given the authors’ premise that the founding was via a single colonizing taxon more than 5 million years ago.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
