چکیده
Abstract Several recent reappraisals of supposed generalist parasite species have revealed hidden complexes species, each with considerably narrower host ranges. Parasitic wasps that attack gall-forming insects on plants life history strategies are thought to promote specialization, and though many indeed highly specialized, others been described as parasites. Ormyrus labotus Walker (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae) is one such apparent generalist, rearing records spanning more than 65 galls associated a diverse set oak tree plant tissues. We pair molecular approach morphology, ecology, phenological data from across wide geographic sample test the hypothesis this actually complex several specialized species. find 16–18 putative within morphological O. labotus, reared only 1–6 gall types, we identify no single unifying axis specialization. also cryptic habitat specialists two other named Our study suggests caution should be applied when considering ranges parasitic solely by traits, particularly given their importance biocontrol organisms role in biodiversity evolutionary studies.

This paper describes the main characteristics of GRSK, a Generalist Recommender System Kernel. It is a RS based on the semantic description of the domain, which allows the system to work with any domain as long as the data of this domain can be defined through an ontology representation. GRSK uses several Basic Recommendation and Hybrid Techniques to obtain the recommended items. Through the GR...

Twin-study research suggests that many (but not all) of the same genes contribute to genetic influence on diverse learning abilities and disabilities, a hypothesis called generalist genes. This generalist genes hypothesis was tested using a set of 10 DNA markers (single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]) found to be associated with early reading ability in a study of 4,258 7-year-old children tha...

In the European Definition of General Practice, WONCA Europe defined the specialty of General Practice in great detail 1 but the strength of the definition was actually its generality. Included in this was the statement that GPs provide 'care to every individual seeking medical care irrespective of age, sex and illness.' This splendidly defines the scope of general practice as all encompassing....
