Abstract
the carrion beetle ( silphidae) fauna of the Maritime Provinces of canada is surveyed. Eleven species are found in the region, and they are all present in all three provinces and on cape breton Island. As a result of this survey, five new provincial records are reported; Necrophila americana, Thanatophilus lapponicus, Nicrophorus pustulatus, and Nicrophorus sayi are newly recorded in Prince Edward Island, and Nicrophorus investigator is newly recorded in New brunswick. Additionally, N. sayi is newly recorded from the Iles de la Madeleine, Nicrophorus orbicollis is newly recorded from cape breton Island, and N. investigator is newly recorded from the mainland of Nova scotia. Historical reports of one species, the endangered Nicrophorus americanus, are reviewed with the conclusion that there is no verifiable evidence that it has ever occurred in Nova scotia. Although all species feed and breed on carrion, there are nevertheless substantial differences in their developmental biology, behavior, seasonality, diel activity, habitat preferences, the particular carrion resources they utilize, and other aspects of their biology that allow them to differentially utilize this resource. the general features of the biology of the two subfamilies, the silphinae and Nicrophorinae are reviewed, and in individual species accounts, particular aspects of each species are highlighted. the distributions of all species are mapped, and the relative abundance and seasonal distribution of species are graphed. Aspects of resource partitioning, competition, and niche width of the species are discussed. to assist in identification, a key to species found in the region is provided, as are colour habitus photographs of all the species.

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
