| type species | <zoology> The nominal species that is the name-bearing type of a nominal genus or subgenus. (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| exotic species | Plant or animal species introduced into an area where they do not occur naturally, non-native species. (09 Oct 1997) |
| facultative species | <ecology> Species that can occur both in wetlands and uplands, there are three subcategories of facultative species: 1. Facultative wetland plants (FACW) that usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability 67-99%), but occasionally are found in nonwetlands. 2. Facultative plants (FAC) that are equally likely to occur in wetlands or nonwetlands (estimated probability 34-66%). 3. Facultative upland plants (FACU) that usually occur in nonwetlands (estimated probability 67-99%), but occasionally are found in wetlands (estimated probability (1-33%). (09 Oct 1997) |
| unique species | <biology> A biotic resource whose presence is unusual and of special interest due to extremities of range, special soil types, or unusual associations with other species. (09 Oct 1997) |
| late seral species | Shade tolerant species, primarily vine maple shrubs and western red cedar and western hemlock trees. These species follow the mid seral species in natural succession. (05 Dec 1998) |
| age-specific rate | A rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group. (05 Mar 2000) |

| retina-specific amine oxidase | <enzyme> Genbank d88213 Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: rao enzyme, human (26 Jun 1999) |
| Gomori's non-specific acid phosphatase stain | <technique> A method in which formalin-fixed frozen sections are incubated in a substrate containing sodium beta-glycerophosphate and lead nitrate at pH 5.0; the insoluble lead phosphate produced is treated with ammonium sulfide to give a black lead sulfide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gomori's non-specific alkaline phosphatase stain | <technique> A calcium-cobalt sulfide method using frozen sections or cold acetone-or formalin-fixed paraffin sections, plus sodium beta-glycerophosphate as a substrate at pH 9.0 to 9.5 with Mg++ as activator; calcium ions precipitate the liberated phosphate, cobalt salt replaces the calcium phosphate, and ammonium sulfide converts the product to a black cobalt sulfide. (05 Mar 2000) |
