Flight Activity and Further Evidence for a Female-Produced Sex Pheromone of the Apple Leaf Midge, Dasineura mali, in Nova Scotia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The flight activity of the apple leaf midge, Dasineura mali (Kieffer), was determined in the field and laboratory. Males and females began emerging at the onset of the photophase. In the field, delta-shaped traps baited with 6 virgin females caught males exclusively, with the most abundant catches on the ground as compared to those at 1 and 2 m. Most males were captured at 1100 hours and males remained in the vegetation under the trees throughout the day. Sweep netting revealed that conspecifics mate in the vegetation under orchard trees in the morning hours, and females move from the ground to the orchard canopy to oviposit at 1000 hours. Gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analyses indicated the presence of an electrophysiologically active compound in solid phase microextraction (SPME) effluvial collections and pheromone gland extractions from virgin females.

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.
