Colony Structure in<i>Tapinoma sessile</i>Ants of Northcentral Colorado: A Research Note
Bibliographic record
Abstract
tapinoma sessile (Say, 1836), often referred to as the “odorous house ant” or the “coconut ant,” has been considered the most widespread and adaptable of native North American ant species (Fisher and Cover, 2007). This species thrives in a diverse range of ecosystems and environmental conditions, surviving in such climatically distinct regions as southern Canada, northern Mexico (Bucz kowski, 2010, 2012), Florida, Hawaii (recently introduced), and most regions in between (Creighton, 1950; Fisher and Cover, 2007; Buczkowski et. al., 2011). In at least a few states, these ants have also adapted well to urban landscapes, often rising to ecological dominance in the wake of anthropogenic disturbance (Buczkowski, 2010). In some regions, they constitute abundant, though largely benign, urban pests (Smith, 1928). Despite this, the biology of t. sessile remains poorly understood (Menke et al., 2010).
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.
