Abstract
We tested several methods for assessing the mating status of male obliquebanded leafrollers, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). In four experiments, we established that the technique developed to determine mating status of male spruce budworms, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clemens) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), can be used for C. rosaceana populations in western and eastern North America. Section seven of the primary simplex of the ductus ejaculatorius appeared opaque, with either a white or yellow coloration in virgin C. rosaceana males, but was clear for up to 6 days after copulation in mated males. This technique was used successfully to determine the mating status of males captured in pheromone-baited traps during the first flight of C. rosaceana in two consecutive seasons. In three laboratory experiments, we determined that the presence or absence of sclerotized bars on the surface of spermatophores dissected from female C. rosaceana is a reliable indicator of the mating status of the females’ partner. Spermatophores produced by virgin males had sclerotized barring, whereas those from once-mated males did not. This technique was used to demonstrate that the mating status of males mated to tethered, virgin females did not differ between pheromone-treated and nontreated control plots.

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 it
