We consider the autopod as consisting of 3 segments, divided according to the following jointly-exhaustive mutually-disjoint part-hierarchy, listed distal to proximal
skeleton of autopod (aka 'autopod')
skeleton of acropodium (aka 'acropodium')metapodium skeleton (aka 'metapodium')mesopodium skeleton (aka 'mesopodium')Note that in this document and in the ontology we currently use the unambiguous skeletal-prefixed terms, and phenoscape-preferred terms in parentheses.
Hoever, it is also possible to first group the acropodium and metapodium - confusingly, this is sometimes called the acropodium (e.g. Wagner and Chin 2001). We accomodate this group, and introduce a new label 'digitopodium' (Ibrahim and Sereno) to group the proximal-most two elements
This gives us a second hierarchy (also part-wise JEPD):
skeleton of autopod (aka 'autopod')
skeleton of digitopodium (aka 'digitopodium', 'acropodium (Wagner)')
skeleton of acropodium (aka 'acropodium')metapodium skeleton (aka 'metapodium')mesopodium skeleton (aka 'mesopodium')This second hierarchy is consistent with the first, but includes an additional mereological sum for grouping purposes
