Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Flight intercept traps are important tools for the monitoring and surveillance of forest Coleoptera. Although collection cup effects on the abundance of target taxa are well‐documented, these effects remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the comparative efficacy of three wet (saturated saltwater, propylene glycol, and soapy water) and one dry (dichlorvos strip) collection cup treatments on the capture of forest insects. We observed significant differences in capture rates across treatments, with wet cups generally resulting in higher captures of phytophagous and predatory taxa. Dry cups captured the largest quantities of carrion‐associated taxa. These findings challenge the prevailing hypothesis of insect escape from dry collection cups and suggest that olfactory stimuli associated with collection cups are important in mediating trap performance. Despite these insights, the specific mechanisms driving these preferences remain unknown and should be the focus of future research.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
