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 2026-09-10 · codex-gpt-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. BTO:0000954 'nymph' kept as an xref. Life-stage host review (#276): BTO:0000954 'nymph' names an immature insect organism at a stage rather than an environment determined by that organism, the same entity-type mismatch already recorded for Larva, Pupa, Prepupa, and Embryo under #112/#114. The GOLD Nymph/Instar source stays minted as a whole-host insect habitat and keeps BTO:0000954 only as an xref so all insect life-stage hosts follow one rule. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.71e7bb35e2)

  2. DEFINED 2026-09-18 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'insect nymph-associated environment' under ENVO:01001002 'animal-associated environment'. Definition authored from the record's committed Codex research report under research/habitats/, read in full. GOLD's Host-associated > Arthropoda: Insects > Nymph/Instar source denotes an immature insect acting as a whole-host microbial habitat under #112/#114, not BTO:0000954 'nymph' as an organism-at-stage identity, UBERON:0000069 'larval stage' as a life-cycle interval, UBERON:0002548 'larva', a larval instar, a pupa or prepupa sibling, an egg or ootheca, dissected gut or fecal material, or surrounding rearing substrate. The definition uses the report's nymphal-instar reading so GOLD's slash label does not absorb larval instars from the separate Larva branch. ENVO:01001002 is the tightest vendored genus until insect-associated environment is minted, and the source-inherited HabitatMech parent preserves the narrower insect restriction; BTO:0000954 stays only as an xref per the existing life-stage host review.
