  Comments:
I regard the filed tags as not being exclusive, but more the predominant use. That example seems to me the second sense being used more broadly. If it needs to be spelled out, a third sense might be better (as in Daijirin).

  Comments:
- maybe the senses could be swapped, could drop the fld=biol then
- I'd prefer to drop the field tag, since there's a third more abstract sense
  - from prog:
    これは小説とエッセイの合いの子のような作品だ
    This work is something in between a novel and an essay.
