Search the Glossary

How to search:

Start typing your term of interest. A dynamically-generated list of terms containing (at any point) the fragment of text presently entered is returned. Select the term you want and click 'Show'. Note that you must select a word, simply typing a full word in will not invoke a valid search. You can also choose a random starting point to start your browsing. A separate page allows you to proof blocks of text against the glossary.

What is shown:

The database contains definitions for most terms and the references from which those definitions were extracted. A list of how your particular term relates to other terms is also returned with each search. There are 2195 terms entered so far.

About

This glossary is a product of an ongoing effort to build an ontology of anatomical terms used by hymenopterists. The ontology is fully accessible and editable through the web, and interested parties are encouraged to get involved in its development. A preliminary overview of contributors and information on how to cite the Glossary is available.

Caveats

Although the database is continually updated the list of terms, definitions, and relationships is incomplete. If you find errors or omissions, or you would like to contribute (either as an editor or to submit a list of terms) please contact .
