Abstract
The Mediterranean Oak Borer (Xyleborus monographus), an exotic invasive ambrosia beetle, has emerged as a significant threat to oak ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest. Currently limited to infestations in Oregon and California, X. monographus is associated with dieback and mortality in Quercus garryana (Oregon white oak) and Q. lobata (valley oak), ecologically and culturally significant species. Despite increasing evidence of its impact, X. monographus' behavior, population dynamics, and host interactions in its introduced range remain poorly understood. This research provides foundational insights into X. monographus in Q. garryana in Oregon. Preliminary observations reveal unique infestation patterns and potential risk factors, providing actionable insights for urban ecological management and invasive species mitigation in the Portland/Vancouver area and beyond.

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 it
