Abstract
Tiger beetles typically have specific habitat requirements and because of this, and their ease of identification, can serve as useful indicators of ecosystem condition. However, in northern Ontario, Canada, especially the Far North, distribution information for tiger beetles is generally historic or lacking.We conducted tiger beetle inventories across northern Ontario, including the remote Far North, in an attempt to provide updated distribution information on species known from or adjacent to Ontario. Here, we report several new range extensions for tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cicindelinae) in Ontario, including Cicindela tranquebarica Herbst, Cicindela longilabris Say, Cicindela duodecimguttata Dejean, and Cicindela repanda Dejean.We also confirm and provide updates for the distribution of several additional species collected in previous studies. Several other previously reported species were not located in this study. Our efforts provide a contemporary update on the ranges and distribution of these beetles.

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
