At 32, I've stumbled enough in love to develop a few generalist's theories about the differences between men and women.
The good news from the generalist-genes theory is the prediction that the same set of genes is associated with most learning disabilities.
As opposed to the Big 5, who are generalists, and in theory at least, publish books for everyone.
Most generalists affirmed in theory that community health was important and a few had been involved with outreach clinics or education to community groups.
These QTL linkage results provide some support for the theory of generalist genes.
Theory predicts that generalists more likely have better dispersal abilities and are expected to be able to adapt readily to novel environmental settings [ 55].
These observations are consistent with theory predicting that generalists should be favored over specialists if human land use acts as disturbance to disrupt spatial homogeneity and/or temporal stability.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.02440.003 The contrast between habitat specialist and generalist strategies derives from ecological niche theory (Levins, 1968; Futuyma and Moreno, 1988).
More recently, concern for the environment, as well as theory examining the reasons for success of generalist predators, prompted a shift to the release of specialized consumers typically preceded by extensive testing aimed at delimiting the host range of candidate biological control agents.
