Bibliographic record
Abstract
Centaurea stoebe subsp. micranthos (spotted knapweed) and Centaurea diffusa (diffuse knapweed) have been the target of a biological control programme in Canada since the 1970s. Although the two species have some important biological differences, both are well adapted to ecosystems that experience frequent disturbance, including roadsides and overgrazed pastures and rangelands. Since the 1970s, 13 insects have been released for biological control of Centaurea spp. in Canada and the United States, with the first being Urophora affinis in 1971. In Canada, 10 insect species have established that feed that feed in flower and seed heads or the roots. The chapter reviews the current status of the knapweed biological control programme and recent research, including work on Bangasternus spp. and Larinus spp., competitive interactions between biological control agents and parasitoids that could impact the efficacy of released biological control agents.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
