The cluster 1 strain, which is a host generalist, had a smaller estimated effective population size than the roe deer specialist.
In the current work it becomes apparent that aliphatic glucosinolates are important for resistance to Mamestra, which is a model for a generalist herbivore.
This can occur both in models in which the top predator is a specialist, completely dependent upon the herbivore, and in models in which the top predator is a generalist, inflicting mortality upon the focal prey species, but itself sustained in numbers by alternative prey.
A. phagocytophilum has been detected in the blood of a wide range of mammals and in several different Ixodes species, which suggests that it is a generalist parasite with the capacity to exploit multiple hosts and vectors (1 – 3, 5 – 9 ).
Mamestra is a generalist, which prefers cruciferous species, but has been found feeding on many different plant species, including non-cruciferae [21], [22].
However, it is also possible that these genes may simply be hitching a ride with a microbe that is a generalist which can better survive these conditions.
"The results offer further evidence that the harlequin is a generalist predator which is having a damaging effect on native species across Europe.
Considering that the green lacewing is a generalist predator which, in addition to feeding on lepidopteran larvae and mites, also feeds on aphids and other insect eggs in the field, it is highly unlikely that Bt crops pose any risk to this beneficial predator.
However, if L. bicolor were a better colonizer, which is expected of generalists [ 108], then it might persist in a spatially patchy environment through a competition-colonization trade-off [ 109].
"Microsoft is a generalist.
Each brother is a generalist and a specialist.
