About

This glossary is a product of an ongoing effort to build an ontology of anatomical terms used by hymenopterists. The ontology is fully accessible and editable through the web, and interested parties are encouraged to get involved in its development. A preliminary overview of contributors and information on how to cite the Glossary is available.
