Abstract
Earwigs exhibit a diverse range of behaviors that are crucial for survival and reproduction, driven by complex genetic mechanisms. Behavioral genetics in insects has increasingly become a key area of study, and this study focuses on understanding the molecular basis of sexual selection, circadian rhythms, and predatory behavior in earwigs; investigates the genetic factors that influence mate choice and sexual dimorphism, as well as the behavioral traits that contribute to reproductive success; additionally, explores the genetic pathways regulating circadian rhythms and how environmental cues interact with these genes to control daily activity patterns. Furthermore, this study examined the genes responsible for predatory instincts, their molecular mechanisms, and the evolutionary advantages of these behaviors, especially in the context of pest control. By analyzing field populations and conducting laboratory studies, we gained insights into the genetic underpinnings of earwig behavior. These findings have potential applications in agricultural pest management, offering strategies to utilize earwigs' predatory behavior for natural pest control. Future research will further explore the ecological implications and genetic diversity of earwig populations.

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 it
