What's the Preferred Term - 4/19/2011

Recap from last week: For the first term, Burks argued that "purely linguistic grounds suggest that auxilium is
best. Auxilia is the plural, and I don't see why the extra word "sclerite" would be needed", so we will use the term "auxilium" to describe the sclerite. For the second term, both Jennings and Burks agreed that "anterior ocellus" is too relative with regards to head direction, etc. The term "median ocellus" was deemed the most accurate, thus we will use it as the preferred label.

What's the Preferred Term - 4/11/2011

Recap from last week: For the class "HAO:0000945: The anatomical space that serves as the storage of sperm" (applied to the structure for female sperm storage), we have chosen "spermatheca" as the preferred term as per at least one response. For the second class, "HAO:0000164: The process that is linear and wider apically than distally" we had an interesting discussion about the actual validity of the class definition and also whether there should be more classes applied to different structures (e.g. a true "bar", a true "trabecula" and the entire H-shaped structure in Mymaridae "trabecula?"). We will need to further clarify these classes, but until then we will hold off on assigning preferred terms.

What's the Preferred Term - 4/4/2011

Recap from last week: For the class "HAO:0000109: The frontal line that is a carina", Jennings suggested that the homonym "frontal carina" be with the class "HAO:0000810: The carina that is located on the face and parallels the inner orbit"; thus we have made "central keel" the preferred term for the former class. No decisions were made about "HAO:0000916: The depression that is medially located on the scutoscutellar suture" thus the current term, "scutellar fovea", remains as the preferred one.

What's the Preferred Term - 3/28/2011

Recap from last week: For the first class, "The seta that is located on the anterior margin of the hind wing and interlocks with the recurved posterior edge of the fore wing in Hymenoptera during flight, making them functionally one winged", Schulmeister and Jennings both chose "hamulus (hamuli)" a choice that surely surprised no one in the community. As for the second class, "The malar line that is a carina", no one gave their opinion so we will keep "malar carina" as the preferred term.

What's the Preferred Term - 3/7/2011

Recap from last week: We got one response for each of the classes from last week. First, Jennings suggested we use "basiconic capitate peg sensillum" for the class "HAO:0001098: Mushroom-shaped sensory structure on the flagellum, particularly the clava; sometimes called the sensilla ampullacea." Second, Schulmeister suggested a couple of labels for the class "HAO:0000427: The compound organ that functions as producer and transporter of sperm, spermatophore and semen, composed of the testes, vas deferens, accessory glands and ductus ejaculatorius. Ecto- and mesodermal in origin" including "internal male genitalia" or "internal male reproductive organs". We will use Jennings' selection for the first class, and have continued using "internal male genitalia" for the second class in accordance with Schulmeister's suggestions and our current selection.
