AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Rogas spp. (Braconidae) are known larval endoparasitoids of noctuid/erebid caterpillars; stage-specificity for mid-instar larvae is biologically consistent and source quote directly supports the structured fields.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Rogas spp. (Braconidae) are known larval endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera, and host-instar specificity restricted to middle-aged larvae is biologically consistent with braconid parasitism windows.”
