Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Upon learning of a report of a giant water bug (Lethocerus americanus (Leidy, 1847)) swimming to a hole drilled in an ice-covered pond, we investigated the extent to which insects remain active in ice covered ponds in northern Nova Scotia, Canada. Insects were caught primarily with a novel ice hole trap, but also by dip netting in the holes and examining the wash around the hole soon after the drilling. Using a submerged camera further confirmed some insects were active and motile. Over 1,300 specimens (seven orders, 17 families, at least 45 species) were captured over six winters, from 2012 to 2017. These data suggest that the hypopagea (the freshwater environment below ice) is an unexplored habitat full of active insects.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
