Summary

  • Added three new terms for skeletal elements found in early ray-finned fishes:
    • antopercle (UBERON:7770001)
    • dermohyal (UBERON:7770002)
    • lateral gular (UBERON:7770003)

Details

  • All terms are classified as a type of dermal bone
  • Appropriate part_of relationships were added to each term
  • References to scientific publications were included in the definitions
  • Added contributor attribution via ORCID

Closes #3431

…al, lateral gular.

Added new terms with IDs UBERON:7770001, UBERON:7770002, and UBERON:7770003 for skeletal elements in early ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) based on issue #3431.

- antopercle: Paired dermal element anterior to the opercle and posterior to the dermohyal
- dermohyal: Paired element that is typically fused to the hyomandibula
- lateral gular: Paired dermal elements on the ventral surface of the skull bearing the gular pit line

@cmungall - IDs will clash.

Also would strongly prefer taxon constraints to be present.

@cmungall @matentzn Need some changes:

  1. Assign new IDs, if PR #3536 using these IDs is not closed
  2. Update definitions with source annotations
  3. Add relationship relationship: in_taxon NCBITaxon:7898 ! Actinopterygii to each

Pull request overview

This PR adds three new anatomical terms to the UBERON ontology for skeletal elements found in early ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii): antopercle, dermohyal, and lateral gular. Each term includes scientific definitions with references to specific specimens, appropriate taxonomic relationships, and contributor attribution.

Changes:

  • Added antopercle (UBERON:7770001) as a paired dermal element in the opercular region
  • Added dermohyal (UBERON:7770002) as a paired element fused to the hyomandibula, with synonyms for antopercular/antoperculum
  • Added lateral gular (UBERON:7770003) as paired dermal elements on the ventral skull surface

The created_by: dragon-ai-agent line has been removed from the UBERON:7770009 term (kidney interpolar region). This appears to be an unintended change that is unrelated to the addition of the skeletal terms for early ray-finned fishes. This line should be retained.
