Abstract
In 1912–13, the Territory of Hawaii dispatched Italian entomologist Filippo Silvestri to undertake a search for parasites who agricultural officials hoped could be used to curtail the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), a recent arrival in the islands. The history of Silvestri’s expedition provides an opportunity to contemplate the overlapping geographies and ecologies of humans and insects. Efforts to use insects for purposes of biological control of insect pests combined biogeographical and political relationships. Silvestri’s expedition relied on forging inter-imperial scientific networks and reflected the ways in which global imperialism constituted a collaborative project. C. capitata played a pivotal role in shaping these networks through its own mobility and biogeography.

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
