First Canadian record and additional new state records for North American deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: <i>Lipoptena cervi</i> (Linnaeus) and <i>L. mazamae</i> Rondani)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Deer keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: Lipoptena Nitzsch and Neolipoptena Bequaert) are hematophagous ectoparasitic flies that primarily attack cervids and occasionally bite humans and companion animals. While a number of studies have reported half a dozen arthropod-borne pathogens in deer keds, it is unknown if they are competent vectors. In response to the increasing concern of deer keds as pathogen vectors, a recent study produced the first county-level map of deer keds in North America. Since that study was published, a number of new range records have come to light, including the first records for Canada as well as two new state/provincial, and 33 new county or provincial records for deer keds in eastern North America.

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.
