Species composition and seasonal abundance of synanthropic flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in the Winnipeg area, Manitoba, Canada, 1978–1980
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) include many species that are important as nuisance flies, disease transmitters, and pollinators and are also very important in forensic entomology. Understanding the presence, phenology, and abundance of species in a given area is important in analysing a forensic case and is also valuable in developing baseline databases for comparison over time. Little work on Calliphoridae has been conducted in Manitoba, Canada. Baited traps were deployed at eight sites around the Winnipeg area throughout the insect season in 1978, 1979, and 1980. Five species, Cynomya cadaverina (Robineau-Desvoidy), Protophormia terraenovae (Robineau-Desvoidy), Phormia regina (Meigen), Lucilia illustris (Meigen), and L. sericata (Meigen), were regularly collected, with Calliphora spp. Robineau-Desvoidy collected much less frequently. The same species were collected consistently over the years of trapping, although abundance varied greatly even at the same sites.

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.
