Abstract
The mature female yellow mealworm beetle, 'Tenebrio molitor', uses 4-methylnonanol as a sex attractant pheromone. Data from 'in vivo ' studies suggest that the terminal biosynthetic step, reduction of 4-methylnonanoic acid (or derivative) to 4-methylnonanol, is regulated by Juvenile Hormone (JH) III. The goals of this study were (i) to develop synthetic routes to commercially unavailable substrates and standards required to study the reduction of 4-methylnonanoic acid (or derivative); (ii) to develop an 'in vitro' assay for the reduction of 4-methylnonanoic acid (or derivative) to 4-methylnonanol in the yellow mealworm beetle; (iii) and to confirm that the reduction of 4-methylonanoic acid is regulated by JH. Preliminary results suggest that females and not males are able to perform the conversion. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

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
