Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-17 · claude-opus-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. UBERON:0002548 'larva' kept as an xref. Life-stage review (#112): carried UBERON:0002548 'larva' as a parent, reached by the ambiguous-leaf rule rather than the path — several GOLD paths end in the same leaf, so the ones that do not claim the term keep it as a parent. parent_habitats asserts the parent is BROADER, and a larva or embryo is a whole organism rather than a broader kind of place, so this is the same over-claim the identity cases had one level up. Kept as an xref (#99). Per the rule #114 settled: the whole host organism gets its own identity and an <X>-associated environment term; parts of a host ground to the anatomy term.

  2. DEFINED 2026-09-11 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'crustacean larva-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition authored from the record's committed deep-research report under research/habitats/, read in full; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Host-associated > Arthropoda: Crustaceans > Larva source denotes a stage-unspecified crustacean larval host rather than UBERON:0002548 'larva' or UBERON:0000069 'larval stage', which name an organism class or a life-cycle stage rather than a host-associated environment. ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment' is the tightest vendored genus used by the requested crustacean-associated environment family until a crustacean-associated environment class is minted. The requested term intentionally excludes the sibling named-stage records Larva: Nauplius, Larva: Zoea, and Post-larva; the Post-larva life-stage grounding inconsistency is tracked in #320.
