Abstract
Comatacarus americanus Ewing Aiken Co., Savannah River Ecology Laboratory’s Mill Creek grid, May 1986, ex Blarina carolinensis (Bachman), coll. Whitaker, Hartman, and Hein (Whitaker et al. 1994); Barnwell Co., Savannah River Site, 20 May–15 June 1980, ex B. carolinensis in a pitfall trap; Oconee Co., Coon Branch, 4 March 1993, ex Sorex hoyi Baird, coll. P. Swillings. Based on our collection records, C. americanus occurs in both the mountains and piedmont of South Carolina. Larvae were attached to the face and ears of their hosts. Comatacarus americanus was the only chigger on B. carolinensis at the Savannah River Site (Whitaker et al. 1994). Comatacarus americanus is a parasite of rodents and insectivores and was reported from a “western mole” in Oregon and a “cotton mouse” in Alabama (Brennan & Goff 1977; Ewing 1942). Larvae were taken in Kansas from Peromyscus maniculatus (Wagner) and Reithrodontomys megalotis (Baird); in Colorado from Neotoma cinerea (Ord) and Neotoma mexicana Baird (Loomis 1956); in California from Spermophilus beecheyi (Richardson), Microtus californicus (Peale), and Thomomys bottae (Eydoux and Gervais) (Brennan & Jones 1954); and in Canada from Blarina brevicauda (Say) (Jameson 1950).
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.

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.
