Phylogenetics of gall-inducing thrips on Australian Acacia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Analysis of DNA sequence data from four genes (Elongation Factor-1α, wingless, 16S rDNA and cytochrome oxidase I) yielded a well-resolved, well-supported phylogeny for all 21 species of gall-inducing thrips found on Australian Acacia. This phylogeny was then used to investigate the evolution of various behavioural and life history traits, and to examine the level of agreement with the taxonomy of the group. Our results suggest that there may have been a single origin of soldier castes in gall-inducing thrips. Examination of the distribution of the three primary life history strategies employed by these thrips (pupating in the gall, pupating in soil with soldier castes and pupating in soil without soldier castes) indicates that two of the strategies may have evolved as a result of factors associated with host plant affiliations or through parasite pressure. Our phylogeny does not support the existing generic classification of the group in that the genera are not monophyletic, nor does it lend itself to a clear solution to improve the classification in accordance with the phylogeny.
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.

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.
