parasitoid of house and stable flies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined the preferred stage of host attacked, seasonal dy-namics, and methods for laboratory rearing for Phygadeuon fumator Gravenhörst, a potential biological control agent of house flies and stable flies in Manitoba. Of 50,842 live sentinel house fly pupae retrieved at two Manitoba dairies in 1996, P fumator parasitized 1,998. A total of 4,691 naturally occurring house fly and stable fly pupae were collected, of which 9.4 % were parasitized by P. fumator. Phygadeuon fumator attacked only pu-pae in the field. When individual females were exposed to pupae and 3rd instar house fly larvae in the laboratory, 52.2 % and 5.8% of observations were taken when females were in contact with containers of the pupae and larvae, respectively. At 22°C, males of P. fumator had significantly shorter development times (24.8 ± 0.1 days, 14 to 35 days; n=615) than females (26.5 ± 0.2 days, 18 to 35 days; n=147). Some P. fumator did not emerge immedi-ately and entered a state of larval diapause. A greater proportion of P. fumator in sentinel pupae entered larval diapause (75.8%) than those in naturally occurring pupae (29.5%). Phygadeoun fumator has considerable potential as a biological control agent of house flies and stable flies, but factors influencing diapause induction and laboratory rearing must be determined.

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.
