Um, but for our purposes, we're going to use them to refer to the range of food items that are eaten by a species.So a generalist feeder is a species that eats a wide variety of foods during its lifetime.And a specialist is a species that feeds on a highly restricted number of fo...
The ghost mantis is one of the most popular species of mantis in the mantis hobby because of its appearance, its easy difficulty in keeping, and relatively long lifespan. It is not very aggressive toward other members of its species, unlike many praying mantises, meaningolder nymphs can be ...
The generalist herbivores had a higher impact on the biomass and survival of the seedlings of the alien S. inaequidens than on the native J. vulgaris. On the contrary, the specialist Tyria jacobaeae attacked exclusively the adults of the native species, supporting one of the main predictions ...
Since lab-on-a-chip mimicking the gut (hereafter “gut-on-a-chip”) is one of the most advanced platforms for the simulative research regarding the correlation between host health and microbiota, the co-culture of the synthetic bacterial community in gut-on-a-chip is expected to reveal the...
The target habitat Pannonic salt steppes is a mosaic of several grassland formations reflecting different soil salinity and water regime depending on the micro-elevation of the terrain [7,34]. Three typical halophytes (flagship species for conservation) were chosen to represent the target habitat: ...

Forest harvesting changes forest habitat and impacts forest dependent species. Uneven-aged management is often considered better for biodiversity than even-aged management, but there is an ongoing discourse over the benefits and disadvantages of differen
Structurally recycling has been a generalist activity with respect to material diversity. This limits the value that it can return. The super-focussed, high-value recycling route fits far better with AM at a systemic level and we need to break out of mixed polymer streams, co-polys, and hidd...
But it is good to accept that the urban environment should be a natural environment, but one that is predominately designed for people! We should not aim to protect biodiversity or, more simply, rare species as assiduously in cities a...
