<i>Dendroctonus ponderosae</i>(Hopkins), Mountain Pine Beetle / Dendroctone du pin ponderosa (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae , is native to North America. Its hosts include several species of pine. During outbreaks, D. ponderosae can kill significant numbers of trees, resulting in decreased timber production, increased fire risk, and impacts on biodiversity in affected forest stands. Since 1999, the distribution of D. ponderosae has expanded northwards in British Columbia and into northern Alberta, Canada. Beauveria bassiana may be a good candidate for biological control of D. ponderosae . In particular, the entomopathogen successfully infected mountain pine beetle in laboratory studies and recent research has focused on identifying strains of the pathogen with virulence against mountain pine beetle. Testing to select strains for use in a biological control programme for mountain pine beetle is described and the next steps in developing a biological control programme are reviewed.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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.
