The good news from the generalist-genes theory is the prediction that the same set of genes is associated with most learning disabilities.
This is because taking non-monetary benefits into account does not change the central prediction that entrepreneurs should be generalists whereas employees should be specialists.
Although recent analyses support the prediction of greater niche variation in generalist populations that have experienced ecological release [5] [7], with few exceptions [8], [9] very little is known about the heritability of this variation or the molecular genetic bases of the evolution of new phenotypes that result.
B. betularia definitely fulfills this prediction of wide host range: caterpillars are generalists and can rear off a tremendous range of host trees and shrubs, including Acer, Alnus, Amelanchier, Aster, Betula, Juglans, Larix, Malus, Prunus, Quercus, Rhus, Ribes, and Salix [e.g., 19].
For both islands, thus, we confirmed the first prediction that Opuntia is integrated by the most generalist insects in the receiving communities.
The first prediction of the resource-use hypothesis said that generalist species have lower speciation and extinction rates.
We tested the prediction that urban matrix are increasingly composed of invasive generalist species.
Reproductive rates of the generalist and specialist bacteriophages φX174 and G4 conformed to the theoretical prediction that the reproductive advantage associated with host specialization depends on host density.
We did not attempt to compare the risk prediction ability of residents (compared with attendings) or cardiologists (compared with generalists) because of the small numbers of participants in each sub-group.
Mostly based on previous information, we make the following predictions: The integration of an alien plant into a pollination network is mediated by the most generalist (native or alien) pollinators [1], [3], [7], [13] and Opuntia interacts most frequently with generalist insects (super-generalists sensu [1]).
