Systematics and Ecology of the Genus <I>Neossos</I> (Diptera: Heleomyzidae), Nest Associates of Birds
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Nearctic genus Neossos Malloch is revised. The genus contains three species: Neossos marylandicus Malloch (type locality: Bell, MD), Neossos californicus Melander (type locality: Corona del Mar, CA), and Neossos atlanticus n. sp. (type locality: Île Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada). All species are described and illustrated, and a key to species is provided. The male postabdomen of the genus is described in detail for the first time. All known specimens of Neossos have been collected from bird nests, and the larvae and adults are apparently closely associated with the nest material. Morphological differences between the three species of Neossos correspond to differences in avian hosts at the ordinal level, architecture of host nests, and geographic distribution. N. marylandicus is associated with cavity-nesting passerine birds in eastern North America, N. californicus with raptors in western North America, and N. atlanticus with colonial, cliff-nesting seabirds in eastern North America.
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.
