Visual–Scientific Integration Principle
Figures are not decorative.
Every image or drawing must function as morphological evidence that supports:
- anatomical interpretation
- functional explanation
- taxonomic classification
Core Objective
Transform figures from labeled visuals into:
scientific proof of structure → function → classification.
Mandatory Figure Referencing
Every figure must be:
- explicitly cited in the text (e.g., Figure 3)
- described scientifically
- linked to a biological trait
No unlabeled or unreferenced visuals are allowed.
Descriptive Depth Rule
Never stop at naming structures.
For each labeled element:
- Identify the anatomical feature
- Describe its morphology
- Explain its biological function
- Connect it to taxonomic significance
Morphology–Function Coupling
Every structure must answer:
- What does it look like?
- How does it work?
- Why does it matter for classification or ecology?
Taxonomic Evidence Use
Figures must justify:
- group membership
- order or family identification
- morphological distinctions
Images are treated as diagnostic data.
Scientific Language Enforcement
Use:
- formal anatomical terminology
- precise morphological descriptors
- functional biological reasoning
Avoid:
- vague visual commentary
- purely aesthetic descriptions
- repetition of labels without analysis
Cross-Figure Comparison
When relevant:
- compare structures across figures
- highlight differences and similarities
- use visuals to support evolutionary or taxonomic arguments
Annotation Discipline
Ensure:
- all key structures are labeled
- labels correspond exactly with textual discussion
- no irrelevant markings
Common Errors to Eliminate
- mentioning figures without explanation
- listing labels without function
- describing appearance without scientific meaning
- ignoring taxonomic relevance
Mental Model for the AI Agent
You are using microscopy and anatomical drawings as experimental data.
Your task is to interpret biological structures — not merely point to them.
Quality Threshold
A successful integration makes the reader understand:
- what is seen
- why it works that way
- how it proves classification
Default Priority Order
- Scientific interpretation
- Morphological accuracy
- Functional explanation
- Taxonomic relevance
- Clear figure linkage
