Characteristics of logs with signs of oviposition by the polyphagous xylophage Asian longhorned beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
During the eradication program undertaken against Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) in the Greater Toronto Area, information was collected on the numerous signs of injury found on wounded trees. Herein, we used a portion of this information to assess the characteristics of logs with signs of oviposition (i.e., pits). Specifically, we related the basal diameter, type (log bole vs. log branch), height above ground, and branch hierarchy level of logs with pits to tree size (i.e., height and diameter at breast height) and level of infestation intensity. In general, pits were concentrated on logs from the bole and branches that were 8-14 cm in diameter in the lower 8 m of the bole and in the first 2 levels of the branching hierarchy. Oviposition pit location was strongly influenced by tree size-both height and diameter at breast height, with more pits on the lower bole in small trees and then higher on the bole and into the branches as tree size increased. As tree-level infestation intensity increased, pits were found on both larger and smaller diameter portions of the trees, presumably as preferred oviposition sites became saturated. These findings can improve the efficacy of surveillance activities for A. glabripennis.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
