HabitatMech

ENVO term requests

Habitats that real data is attached to, that a curator has examined, and that no term in ENVO, UBERON, FOODON, BTO or PO fits. These are what HabitatMech is asking the ontology community for.

Each was individually examined against its source path and candidate terms — these are not the bulk-swept remainder. The largest is the single biggest ungrounded concept in the corpus.

Habitats with no fitting ontology term
HabitatUpstream assertionsSourcesWhy no term fits
Mammals: Human 52129 BACDIVE, GOLD Humans as host, the single largest ungrounded concept at 40432 GOLD organisms. No human-associated environment term exists in ENVO. Deliberately not grounded to animal-associated environment: every host clade would then
Environmental 18454 BACDIVE Term-request re-check (#12), after ENVO:01001000 showed these claims were never machine-rechecked: 'Environmental' is the counterpart of BacDive's Host and Engineered bins, so ENVO:01000951 'natural environment' looks li
Mammals 6104 GOLD Mammals as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
host_animal_endotherm 5130 MADIN Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. This is the single largest Madin
Bacteria 3017 GOLD GOLD's Host-associated > Microbial > Bacteria: bacteria acting as host for another microbe. No environment term exists for a microbial host; ENVO's organism-associated terms cover plants and animals only. ENVO term reque
Oral-cavity-and-airways 2102 BACDIVE Cohort review (subset/disjoint mapping screen): a composite of two sites. UBERON:0001005 'respiratory airway' covers only the airways half and drops the oral cavity, and it is also the correct target for the separate 'Ai
Birds 1848 GOLD Birds as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
Arthropoda: Insects 1833 GOLD Insects as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
Fish 1350 GOLD Fish as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
Environmental 1285 GOLD Term-request re-check (#12), after ENVO:01001000 showed these claims were never machine-rechecked: GOLD's top-level Environmental bin, same near-miss as BacDive's and for a sharper reason: GOLD files Terrestrial > Soil >
Rock core/Sediment 1245 GOLD Deep subsurface rock core and sediment sampled together. GOLD conflates two materials in one node, so no single term is honest; parented to sediment as the nearer of the two.
host_animal_ectotherm 999 MADIN Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. A cold-blooded animal host is HOS
Tree 872 BACDIVE A tree as host. No tree-associated environment term exists; BTO:0005516 wood is the material, not the living host. Parented to plant-associated environment as the nearest broader term. ENVO term request.
Mollusca 784 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Fungi 635 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Invertebrates 621 GOLD Invertebrates as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
Bovinae-Cow,-Cattle 619 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Arthropoda: Crustaceans 598 GOLD Crustaceans as host. ENVO:01001176 environment associated with an aquatic invertebrate is close but excludes terrestrial crustaceans, so it is not a safe identity either. ENVO term request.
Invertebrates-Other 596 BACDIVE Cohort review: NCIT:C17649 'Other' is a bucket with no meaning of its own, and it absorbs 'Rodentia-Other' too — one record labelled 'Other' holding rodents and invertebrates. The invertebrate-associated environment term
Arthropoda: Myriapoda 569 GOLD Myriapods as host. Parented to animal-associated environment; not grounded there because every host clade would merge onto one record. ENVO term request.
Suidae-Pig,Swine 521 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Contamination 474 BACDIVE Risky-grounding review (#12): the seeder made ENVO:00002204 'anthropogenic contamination feature' the identity of BacDive's 'Contamination' category — the highest-volume risky grounding at 474 strains. The term asserts t
Microbial 465 GOLD GOLD's Host-associated > Microbial: a microorganism as host. Same gap as the Bacteria child; ENVO has no microbial-host environment term.
Caprinae-Sheep/Goat 412 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Algae 394 GOLD Non-habitat screen (#12): 'Host-associated > Algae' was grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411301 'algae', which FOODON defines as 'an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic ORGANISMS'. An organism
Geologic 381 BACDIVE Generic "Geologic" bin spanning rock, sediment and subsurface. ENVO covers each specifically; nothing covers the bin without misattributing the rest.
host_animal_endotherm_intratissue 341 MADIN Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. Inside the tissue of a warm-blood
Sponge 323 GOLD Sponges as host. ENVO:01000161 marine sponge reef is the reef environment, not the sponge as a host, so it is not a substitute. Parented to animal-associated environment. ENVO term request.
Nematoda 300 GOLD Nematodes as host. Parented to animal-associated environment. ENVO term request.
Equidae-Horse 269 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Brown Algae 231 GOLD Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412395 'brown algae', which FOODON uses for the TAXON — red algae is defined there as 'one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae, and one of the largest phyla' — no
Leporidae-Rabbit/Hare 217 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
food_fermented 173 MADIN Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. A fermented food is FOOD, the cat
Arthropoda: Chelicerates 169 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Annelida 150 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Reptilia 133 GOLD xref-only review (#43): kg-microbe maps this to NCBITaxon:8504, which is OVER-NARROW — Lepidosauria excludes turtles and crocodilians, which Reptilia includes. The record carries no xref for it: this is a GOLD path and t
host_animal_endotherm_rumen 132 MADIN Category override (#57): a minted identifier gives infer_category nothing to read — no ontology term, no GOLD path — so every Madin habitat named in the BacDive vocabulary fell to OTHER. The rumen is an anatomical compar
Non-marine Saline and Alkaline 121 GOLD xref-only review (#43): a quality is a property of a habitat rather than a habitat, the call already recorded for Acidic, Humid and Arid. The xref also drops the saline half of the source.
Green algae 108 GOLD Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412502 'green algae', which FOODON uses for the TAXON — red algae is defined there as 'one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae, and one of the largest phyla' — no
Cnidaria 102 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Rodentia-Other 97 BACDIVE Cohort review: the other half of the NCIT:C17649 'Other' merge. Same reasoning as the invertebrate source it was collapsing with — a bucket term is not an identity.
Biopsy 95 BACDIVE CLOSE-grounding review (#12): the seeder made NCIT:C15189 'Biopsy Procedure' the identity of BacDive's 'Biopsy' category, 95 strains. A procedure is not a habitat — it is the act of taking the sample, not the place the o
Cnidaria 95 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Larva 94 GOLD 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
Porifera 90 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
alga 88 MADIN Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Porifera-Sponges 86 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Lesion 81 GOLD Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C3824 'Lesion' matches the label now, but it is a pathological finding rather than a place, and the habitat here is the skin the lesion is on. The sweep's answer was right and its stated re
Ascidians 79 GOLD Ascidians as host. BTO:0000090 is a biological-source term rather than a habitat; treated as the other host clades are, parented to animal-associated environment. ENVO term request.
Cnidaria-Corals 75 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Red algae 73 GOLD Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411743 'red algae', which FOODON uses for the TAXON — red algae is defined there as 'one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae, and one of the largest phyla' — not
Indoor Air 72 GOLD Indoor air. kg-microbe's mapping table pointed this at ENVO:01000855, which it labels 'indoor air' and ENVO labels 'area of mixed forest' — a different concept, now rejected by the label check. No indoor-air term exists
Seaweed 69 GOLD Non-habitat screen (#12): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412266 'seaweed', defined there as 'a macroscopic, multicellular, marine algae (kingdom Protista)' — the organism, not the habitat. The concept under Environmental > A
Aquatic-mammal 69 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Lichen 66 GOLD Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412345 'lichen', which is a composite organism arising from algae or cyanobacteria living among fungal filaments — an organism, not a place. The screen that exi
Aquatic-plant 66 BACDIVE Grounding-cohort review (#62): was FOODON:03401156 '50122200 - aquatic plants prepared/processed (gs1 gpc)', a UNSPSC commodity code for prepared food. An aquatic plant as an isolation source is a living host, not a prep
Dust 65 GOLD Indoor dust is settled particulate matter in a built environment, not air. GOLD's Air branch is about where the sample came from, not what it is.
Oyster 61 GOLD Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03411224 'oyster', which is a bivalve mollusc — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested onl
Core-sample 60 BACDIVE Cohort review: the screen's known blind spot, caught by reading the corpus rather than the ranking. NCIT:C180316 "Nucleotide Sequence Sample Name" is a metadata field name, not a place; it shares the word "sample" with t
Bivalves 59 GOLD Bivalves as host. FOODON:03412113 bivalve is a food product class, not a host organism, so it is the wrong kind of term entirely. Parented to animal-associated environment like the other host clades. ENVO term request.
Sea Urchin 53 GOLD Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:03412107 'sea urchin', which is an echinoderm — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested onl
Outdoor Air 42 GOLD Outdoor air. The mapping table pointed this at ENVO:01000829, which it labels 'outdoor air' and ENVO labels 'water vapour saturated air'. No outdoor-air term in the slice; parented to air. Term request.
Amphibia 41 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Protozoa 32 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Root-Tooth 28 BACDIVE Cohort review: NCIT:C33446 'Root' is unqualified and reads as a plant root, not the root of a tooth. The slice has no tooth-root term. Real habitat, no term.
Cooling-tower 26 BACDIVE Cohort review: NCIT:C48957 'Tower' is a structure of any kind. The slice has cooling processes and ENVO:03600002 'cooling water' but no cooling tower; the water is the medium, not the site. A Legionella habitat worth an
Lesion 23 GOLD Stale-sweep review (#12): the fish skin-lesion concept, same as the human one — NCIT's 'Lesion' is a finding, not a place. Path: Host-associated > Fish > Integumentary system > Skin > Lesion
Tunicates 23 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Echinodermata 21 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Dust-Ash 20 BACDIVE Cohort review: dust and ash are different materials and the slice has both (ENVO:00002008, ENVO:02000090). Grounding to either half would assert an identity the source does not have.
Waste-gas 20 BACDIVE Grounding-cohort review (#62): was ENVO:01001155 'astrogeological gas', which carries the bare synonym 'gas' and so matches any gas source at all. Waste gas from an industrial process is a real habitat and the slice has
Starter-culture 19 BACDIVE Grounding-cohort review (#62): was FOODON:03544454 '44540 - starter cultures (efsa foodex2)', a food-classification code rather than a place. A starter culture is a real habitat for the organisms in it; the slice has no
Sea cucumber 17 GOLD Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:02022154 'sea cucumber', which is an echinoderm — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested o
Gall 16 BACDIVE GOLD's plant context means a plant gall; the proposal offered bile material, which is a different thing entirely. No plant-gall term in the vendored slice. ENVO term request. Path: Gall
Sourdough 15 GOLD Risky-grounding review (#12): the seeder grounded 'Engineered > Food production > Sourdough' to FOODON:03302481 'sourdough bread'. Sourdough is the leaven — a flour-and-water culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast — a
Gingival crevice/sulcus 15 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route reaches UBERON:0000093 'sulcus', defined as any depression or fissure in the surface of an organ — a bucket that would collect every groove in the body. UBERON has no gingiva
Plankton 14 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that plankton is 'an assemblage of organisms rather than a place'. Organisms can be habitats — plankton hosts epibiotic and particle-attached microbial communit
Peat moss 11 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
tuberclar 11 PREGO EXACT-grounding sample (#69): BTO:0002173 'tubercle' matches the label exactly, but BTO defines it as the dorsal bosses on adult male Schistosoma. A tubercle as an isolation source is a tuberculous lesion; the two share
Persistent organic pollutants (POP) 9 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route strips GOLD's parenthetical and reaches UBERON:0002622 'preoptic periventricular nucleus', a structure in the BRAIN, for a class of industrial chemicals. The path is Engineer
Spot-Leaf,Stem 5 BACDIVE Cohort review: a leaf-or-stem lesion. PO:0009047 'stem' drops the leaf and is also the target of 'Rot-Root,Stem', so adopting it would merge two different plant diseases onto one record.
Dissolved organics (anaerobic) 3 GOLD Stale-sweep review (#84): the variant search reaches PATO:0001456 'anaerobic' by taking the parenthetical from 'Dissolved organics (anaerobic)'. A quality is not a habitat — the call already recorded for Acidic, Humid, A
Embryo 3 GOLD Life-stage review (#112): carried UBERON:0000922 'embryo' 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
Protist 3 BACDIVE Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Plankton 2 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that plankton is 'an assemblage of organisms rather than a place'. Organisms can be habitats — plankton hosts epibiotic and particle-attached microbial communit
Monument 2 GOLD Narrowed-grounding review (#67): was ENVO:00000359 'natural monument', which is a protected-area designation. GOLD's path is Engineered > Built environment > Monument, so this is a built stone monument — close to the opp
Prepupa 2 GOLD 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 alre
Rot-Root,Stem 2 BACDIVE Cohort review: root-or-stem rot. Same PO:0009047 'stem' merge as the leaf-spot source, and the same objection — the dropped alternative is half the concept.
Oil/Gas pipeline 1 GOLD The habitat is the pipeline interior; the proposal offered ENVO:00002985 oil, the substance. No pipeline term in the slice. ENVO term request. Path: Engineered > Built environment > Pipeline > Oil/Gas pipeline
Bacteria 1 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): this was NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that 'a host taxon is not a habitat'. That reasoning is wrong, and the corpus already contradicted it — the same kind of concept was treated as a habit
Larva: Nauplius 1 GOLD 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
Surface 1 GOLD Disjoint-grounding review (#62): was UBERON:0002416 'integumental system', an ANIMAL organ system, for a plant leaf surface — matched across kingdoms on a synonym. The slice has no plain plant-surface or phyllosphere ter
Rock core/Sediment 1 GOLD GOLD conflates rock core and sediment in one node, so neither term is honest as the identity. Pulled out of the class-level sweep, whose note wrongly claimed no term matched. Label: 'Rock core/Sediment'.
Plankton 0 GOLD Host-taxon reversal (#114): NOT_APPLICABLE on the reasoning that plankton is 'an assemblage of organisms rather than a place'. Organisms can be habitats — plankton hosts epibiotic and particle-attached microbial communit
Air scrubber 0 GOLD An air scrubber is a piece of equipment. GOLD files it under Air because the sample is scrubber air, but the habitat named by this leaf is the device, which belongs with the other built and managed environments.
Biofilm 0 GOLD A biofilm growing inside an air scrubber. Whatever GOLD's branch, a biofilm is not air; it is a community on engineered equipment.
Indoor 0 GOLD GOLD's 'Indoor' node. The mapping table pointed it at ENVO:01000856, which it labels 'indoor environment' and ENVO labels 'temperate marginal sea biome'. No indoor-environment term in the vendored slice. Term request.
Material 0 GOLD Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C48187 'Material' matches the label and carries none of the meaning — a residual bucket like the NCIT 'Other' and 'Part' terms already refused in #43. Path: Engineered > Industrial producti
Stone 0 GOLD Stale-sweep review (#12): NCIT:C35708 'Stone' matches the label, but the path is Built environment > Monument > Stone, and NCIT's term is not the building material. Stonework is a real habitat with no term in the slice.
Subway 0 GOLD Narrowed-grounding review (#67): was ENVO:03501109 'subway train'. GOLD's path is Engineered > Built environment > City > Subway, which is the system or the station rather than the rolling stock; the slice has train term
Grains/Grain products 0 GOLD The proposal offered ENVO:01003002 particle via the synonym grain, which is a different sense of the word. No cereal-grain habitat term in the slice. Term request. Path: Engineered > Food production > Grains/Grain produc
Accessory nidamental gland (ANG) 0 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route reaches UBERON:0002788 'anterior nuclear group', a region of the THALAMUS, for a mollusc reproductive gland — a match with nothing behind it. UBERON has no nidamental gland t
Air sacs 0 GOLD Sibling-path review (#12): grounding the bird 'Air sacs' concept made this one's sweep stale, but UBERON's air sacs are ALL vertebrate — UBERON:0009060 is defined as extensions of the lungs of birds, and every sibling te
C1/Glandular saccules 0 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route reaches UBERON:0001092 'vertebral bone 1'. The path is Mammals > Digestive system > Stomach, so C1 is the first compartment of a camelid stomach — the same reading already re
C2 0 GOLD Disjoint-grounding review (#62): was UBERON:0001093 'vertebral bone 2'. The path is Host-associated > Mammals > Digestive system > Stomach > C2, so C2 is the second compartment of a camelid stomach, not a neck vertebra.
C3 0 GOLD Disjoint-grounding review (#62): was UBERON:0002960 'central oculomotor nucleus', a brainstem structure. Same as C2 — the path is Digestive system > Stomach > C3, a camelid stomach compartment. Path: Host-associated > Ma
Ceros 0 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route reaches FOODON:03413986 'cero', which is a mackerel. The path is Mammals > Integumentary system, so this is a keratinous integumentary structure, not a fish. No term in the s
Embryo 0 GOLD Life-stage review (#112): carried UBERON:0000922 'embryo' 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
Embryo 0 GOLD 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 alre
Fungi 0 GOLD Organism-identity screen (#109): carried FOODON:03411261 'fungus' as a parent, a taxonomic grouping rather than a place, reached by the ambiguous-leaf rule. The concept is fungi acting as host to an endosymbiont, so it i
Gaster 0 GOLD Disjoint-grounding review (#62): was UBERON:0000945 'stomach', a vertebrate organ. The path is Arthropoda: Insects > Abdomen > Metasoma > Gaster, and an insect gaster is a region of the abdomen rather than a stomach. Pat
Larva 0 GOLD 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

Beehive: Cerumen 0 GOLD Sibling-path review (#12): grounding 'Cerumen/Earwax' made this stale, but UBERON:0002297 'cerumen' is defined as the secretion of apocrine sweat glands in the external auditory canal. Beehive cerumen is the wax-and-prop
Eutric 0 GOLD Soil-classification review: 'Eutric' is a WRB QUALIFIER (base saturation >=50%), not a reference soil group, so there is no term for it and there should not be — the same reading already recorded for Acidic, Humid, Arid
Spicules 0 GOLD Variant-match review (#12): the variant route reaches UBERON:3010830 'spicule', which is animal anatomy. The path is Terrestrial > Deep subsurface > Cave, where a spicule is a mineral speleothem — a homonym across kingdo

863 further ungrounded records were decided by a mechanical sweep rather than examined individually, and are not listed here — they are candidates for this list, not members of it.
