Abundance and Flight Activity of Some Histeridae, Hydrophilidae and Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) in Southern Quebec, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We collected adult beetles with four unbaited flight intercept traps in southern Quebec, from early May through late October, in 1987, 1988 and 1989. We captured a total of 146 Histeridae (9 species), 668 Hydrophilidae (29 species) and 428 Scarabaeidae (25 species), including 25 Holarctic or introduced species in North America, mainly non-forest hydrophilids and scarabs.The Sphaeridiinae and Aphodiinae represented, respectively, 78% of hydrophilid catches and 86% of scarab captures. We suggest that adults of Aphodius prodromus, the most common scarab species, are generalist detritivores. Overwintered adults of this species, mainly females, flew in spring, and new generation adults occurred mainly in October. We also studied the seasonal flight activity of three histerid species (Aeletes politus, Geomysaprinus obsidianus, Margarinotus lecontei), ten hydrophilid species (Anacaena prob. lutescens, Cercyon analis, C. assecla, C. haemorrhoidalis, C. lateralis, C. minusculum, C. pygmaeus, Cryptopleurum minutum, Helophorus orientalis, Hydrobius fuscipes) and three other scarab species (Aphodius granarius, A. rufipes, Dichelonyx albicollis). All these species are probably univoltine in southern Quebec.

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.
