AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Edge-enhanced parasitism of European corn borer by Eriborus terebrans (Landis & Haas, Michigan) is a well-cited landscape-ecology result. Quote directly supports edge effect; beneficial direction correct.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Eriborus terebrans (Ichneumonidae) is a documented larval parasitoid of Ostrinia nubilalis (Crambidae). Edge-vegetation refuge effect on adult parasitoid behavior is established. Taxonomy and ecology accurate.”
