Biological Association Type Terms

Introduction

This section contains information on the available biological association terms that are currently available in the xBio:D system. Biological associations within xBio:D represents a two-way relationship between the first organism and the second, and the association type is separated by a slash (/). For example, if you want to show a parasitoid-host relationship in which the specimen record you have is for the parasitoid (A) and the unvouchered associate (B) is its host, the association type emerged from egg of / host egg of would be read parasitoid (A) emerged from host (B) and conversely host (B) is a host egg of parasitoid (A). If you would like another biological association term added into xBio:D, please contact Joe Cora and request the addition.
