- Definition every distinct genetically divergent population within one species with relatively small morphological and genetic differences which are though not sufficiently different so as to give rise to a new taxon Reference COM-Term. Coord., based on: 'Terminology of Forest Science, Technology, Practice, and Products'. F.C. Ford-Robertson (ed.). Society of American Foresters. 1971 and Wikipedia. Race (biology) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28biology%29 [7.3.2012]
- Comment If sufficiently different, two or more races can be identified as subspecies, which is an official biological taxonomy unit subordinate to species. If not, they are denoted as races, which means that a formal rank should not be given to the group, or taxonomists are unsure whether or not a formal rank should be given. See also: Michael A. Patten. 'Subspecies' and 'race' should not be used as synonyms. Nature 457, 147 (8 January 2009) http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v457/n7226/full/457147c.html [7.3.2012]

- Definition subdivision de l'espèce, à caractères héréditaires, représentée par un groupement de populations; population, qui dans le sein d'une espèce, montre une ou plusieurs communes particularités intrinsèques, et est par conséquent distincte des autres populations appartenant à la même espèce, sans que cela soit suffisant pour accéder au niveau d'un taxon distinct Reference Lender-Delavault-Le Moigne,Dict.de biologie ; METRO
