term request for NCBI taxonomy ?

'Our phylogenetic analyses recognize Euharamiyida as the sister group of Multituberculata, and place Allotheria within the Mammalia.'

currently NCBI taxonomy does not cover the phylogeny described in this paper.

None 'Allotheria'
None 'Multituberculata'
None 'Haramiyida'
None 'Euharamiyida' (new clade)

Which of these is needed for our annotation? I can ask for new taxa, but I need a justification, since normally NCBI taxonomy covers species with GenBank entries. Also, previous times I asked for changes I had multiple references, not sure how one recent paper will be received.

ok, it is related to middle ear annotation
#19
so we need 'allotheria' to report multiple middle ear independent evolution in Mammals

OK. That's the only term we need?

I can easily argue that it's widely accepted:

[ANiknejad]

For our annotation, yes.

For description of Allotheria branch, the figure bellow

from paper

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25209669

displays clades not yet in NCBI taxonomy (Thomasia (non-multituberculate allotherian mammals), Multituberculata, Haramiyida, Euharamiyida), but as you said, will depend on links to GenBank entries.

[marcrr]

According to that figure, Allotheria only covers extinct species, no modern descendant. Seems difficult to argue relevance to NCBI under these conditions.

[ANiknejad]

ok, right, let's forget allotheria, I anyway reported
NOT in mammals for middle ear thanks to PMID:27228358
then yes in
32525 Theria
9255 Monotremata
