You're looking for something along the lines of:
REPLICATOR: noun, c.1976. An entity which ...... and
is further defined by.....
in the space of a paragraph or so. I doubt if you'll
find anything like that, as it isn't the style of the
biology literature to provide that kind of thing - too
many exceptions, too messy a subject. There is a
secondary literature, eg. the Penguin Dictionary of
Biology, where you can look up definitions, but these
are designed for first-year students to get to grips
with the terminology, rather than being any 'official'
definitions.
