Curation

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

CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-17 · claude-opus-5
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term UBERON:0003143 'pupa' attached as a parent. Life-stage review (#112), applying the rule #114 settled: the whole host ORGANISM gets its own identity plus an <X>-associated environment term, while PARTS of a host ground to the anatomy term as gut, skin and lung already do. A larva, pupa, prepupa or embryo is the whole organism at a stage, not a part of one, so UBERON:0003143 'pupa' is the organism rather than the place — the same shape as Mollusca, Porifera and the host clades. Kept as an xref (#99); the concept keeps its own identity as a term-request candidate.This is the line that makes both calls fall out of one rule, rather than an exception for terms that happen to live in UBERON: a cocoon is a STRUCTURE an insect builds and stays grounded, because it is not the organism.
