The Organism Index
The Organism Index provides access to information via taxonomic names. The Organ-
ism Index is a new index for 1998 and replaces the previous Biosystematic and Generic
Indexes. The Organism Index lists all of the literature in an issue where particular taxa
are discussed and is arranged systematically by taxon name. Taxon names are followed
by the Major Concepts and keywords that best describe the context in which that organ-
ism is discussed in the source document. Reference numbers appear to the right of the
corresponding entries. The following is an excerpt from the Organism Index:
