Many times you will find a term defined in a specialty dictionary

http://biotech.icmb.utexas.edu/search/dict-search.html

However, I also like to check alternative dictionaries at
http://www.onelook.com. Sometimes the meaning becomes clearer in different
contexts. For example:

Word of the day (found in the Richards article
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~macaulay/papers/richards_2000.pdf, which I posted
yesterday in a message without a header [bad Ann])

autochthonous -- originating where it is found, indigenous

I hope I will remember that now that I've written it out!
