These assumptions remain untested, and landscape-scale conservation planning for wetlands is largely absent, as is a generalised understanding of wetland use by focal taxa.
Most previous studies have, however, aimed for a generalised understanding of test properties from such selected materials [ 13].
The researchers were mindful when undertaking the analyses that group interviews reflect a generalised understanding whilst individual interviews provide more personal views and experiences.
They are roughly as intelligent as a small bug, says Mr Pratt.The field of artificial intelligence (AI), from which academic robotics has developed, has achieved quite a lot since it was founded in the 1960s but nothing like the generalised intelligence, capable of seeing, understanding and planning, that those founders were after.
"This case cannot be understood without understanding the context of generalised paranoia in the country," said one foreign scholar who has lived in Cairo for many years.
Creating a generalised, yet spatially and temporally explicit, understanding of fisheries effort with which to evaluate potential capture of target stocks and minimise putative risk to non-target species and habitats is far from trivial.
However, it is now clear that explicit cognisance should be taken of thermal expansions in design calculations, but this can only be done when a thorough understanding of the behaviour, appropriately generalised, is in place.
Establishing whether this pattern is generalised or health outcome-specific will further understandings of the aetiology of gender differences in health.
Some scientists when canvassing these issues of philosophical theology may prefer to call themselves 'agnostics' rather than 'atheists' because they have been over impressed by a generalised philosophical scepticism or by a too simple understanding of Popper's dictum that we can never verify a theory but only refute it.
If, in the absence of appropriate evidence, results from developed countries are applied to developing country settings via generalised cost-effectiveness analyses then there needs to be a good understanding of which factors have the most impact on the results.
Realising that generalised patterns are unlikely to be applicable to all species, and understanding the differences between how species responded to historical climatic changes may help us to create better predictions of how animal species will be affected by climate changes in the future.
