Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Only two species of Euphranta Loew are currently known in the Nearctic region: E. canadensis (Loew) found in Canada and the United States, and E. mexicana Norrbom recorded from a single location in Mexico. In both cases, they feed on currant fruits (Ribes spp. Grossulariaceae). The original description of E. mexicana was made on just two males reared from the fruits of Ribes pringlei Rose. Here, we present the first description of the females of this rare endemic species to Mexico, encountered at La Malinche volcano, including the new host plant record for R. ciliatum Humb. & Bonpl. ex Schult. Further notes on its morphological affinities and biology are also provided.

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.
