Data from: Rearing and sampling methods for estimating spruce budworm development rates at constant temperatures
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We describe an experimental protocol for measuring the response of spruce budworm post-diapause larval development to temperature. This protocol is specifically designed to include measurements of development near their upper and lower thermal thresholds. The application of this protocol to a laboratory colony allowed for the first experimental evidence that spruce budworm larval development occurs at temperatures as low as 5 ºC and as high as 35 ºC and provides data to estimate development rates at temperatures from 5–35 ºC in 5 ºC increments. Our protocol is also designed to minimize mortality near the thermal development thresholds thus allowing for multi-generational studies. We observed developmental plasticity in larvae reared at constant temperatures, particularly the occurrence of up to 42% of some individuals requiring only five instars to complete development, compared to the expected six instars. An occurrence that exhibited no clear relation to temperature. While this protocol is specifically designed for spruce budworm, it provides a template for the study of other species' developmental responses to temperature.

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.
