AI critic verdicts

• agroecologist · plausible

  “Hunterellus hookeri (Encyrtidae) is a well-documented endoparasitoid of ixodid tick nymphs; latent/diapause parasitism in ticks is biologically established and the source quote directly supports the structured fields.”

• entomologist · plausible

  “Hunterellus hookeri (Encyrtidae) is a well-documented parasitoid of ixodid tick nymphs; stage-specific (nymphal) parasitism with diapause-linked latency is consistent with known biology.”

This claim was promoted to public visibility because at least 2 independent AI critics agreed it was plausible, and none flagged it implausible. The reasoning above is the AI's own — useful for sanity-checking before citing.
