Curation

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

GROUND 2026-08-12 · claude-opus-5
Grounded to BTO:0001356 'tendon' (EXACT). 2 GOLD paths share this leaf and differ only in host clade. Merged onto BTO:0001356 deliberately: the structure is the same wherever it sits and the host lives in the taxon, as with feces and blood serum. Each path survives in source_attestations. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.75430aa0e7)
