biocoenosis

Where it comes from

Borrowed from German Biozönose, coined by German zoologist and ecologist Karl Möbius in 1877, equivalent to bio- + Ancient Greek κοινός (koinós, “common”) + -osis.

noun biocoenoses · biocenosis · biocenose · biocoenose

  1. A community of interacting organisms that form a natural ecological unit. The semidark cave biocoenosis is typically found at (or in proximity to) the entrance of caves and even under caverns and overhangs that, topographically speaking, would not be characterized as true caves.
