| Community | a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. |
| Symbiosis | interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association, typically to the advantage of both. |
| Genus | a principal taxonomic category that ranks above species and below family, and is denoted by a capitalized Latin name, e.g., Leo. |
