Individual and seasonal variation in the diet of the endangered Barton Springs Salamander (Eurycea sosorum): An application of stable isotope analysis to the conservation of an endangered species
It is well known that many species show strong temporal variation in diet. Long-term dietary trends may be important in assessing the effects of ecological change such as global warming, land use c…

Uberon: towards a comprehensive multi-species anatomy ontology
The lack of a single unified species-neutral ontology covering the anatomy of a variety of metazoans is a hindrance to translating model organism research to human health. We have developed an Uber…

Adverse Effects of Trichothiodystrophy DNA Repair and Transcription Gene Abnormalities on Human Fetal Development
The effects of DNA repair and transcription genes in human prenatal life have never been studied. Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is a rare (affected frequency of 10-6) recessive disorder caused by mut…

Modeling cardiac rhythm and heart rate using BFO and DOLCE
This paper presents an application ontology for modeling cardiac rhythm and its anomalies such as tachycardia and bradycardia. We use BFO and DOLCE as ontological reference framework in order to co…

Developing a Mammalian Behaviour Ontology
The use of the Entity + Quality (EQ) model in phenotypic descriptions is dependent on the use of specialised domain ontologies to define the entity under observation. A domain currently lacking a …

Logical implications for regulatory relations represented by verbs in biomedical texts
Relations used in biomedical ontologies can be very general or very specific in respect to the domain. However some relations are used widely in for example regulatory networks. This work focuses o…

The Evolution Ontology
Existing ontologies model components of evolution, but none synthesize them or describe the framework of ideas used to conceptualize evolution. The Evolution Ontology (EO) aims to do just this. EO …
