Scymnus (Pullus) impexus Mulsant
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scymnus (Pullus) impexus Mulsant NOVA SCOTIA: Colchester County: Debert, 25 June 1952, Dept. Natural Resources, 10 specimens, NSMC; Shelburne County: Shelburne, 24 June 1965, R.C. Clarke, 10 specimens, CNC; Shelburne, 7 July 1965, R.C. Clarke, 2 specimens, CNC. McNamara (1991) reported this Palearctic species in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick based on accounts in Gordon (1976, 1985) that, in turn, are derived from reports in Clarke and Brown (1961) and CIBC (1971) of deliberate introductions made in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland between 1951 and 1955, and then again between 1962 and 1966. These were done for biocontrol of the balsam wooly adelgid, Adelges piceae (Ratzeburg). While S. impexus survived for up to five years (Gordon 1976), the introduced populations declined and there is no evidence of longterm persistence. Contemporary collecting has not found this species at sites where it was introduced or anywhere else. Since there is no evidence of persistence we do not consider it to be presently part of the fauna of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.
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.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
