在其最初的定义中，行业协会是指一组以类似方式使用给定资源的共生生物，而不考虑它们的分类关系。我认为，这个术语被研究人员滥用，他们以先验的方式定义了行会（任何一组共位的，分类学上相关的生物体，即，集合），并被研究人员滥用，定义行业协会后验（分组内的集合）。我将讨论这些做法的后果以及行业协会结构与竞争之间的关系。
In its original definition, guild refers to a group of syntopic organisms using a given resource in a similar way, without regard to their taxonomic relationships. I contend that this term is abused by researchers that define guilds in a-priori manner (any group of syntopic, taxonomically related organisms, i.e., an assemblage), and misused by researchers that define guilds a-posteriori (subgroups within assemblages). I discuss the consequences of these practices and the relationship between guild structure and competition.
