摘要

Specialisms on resources and for niches, leading to specialization, have been construed to be tantamount tospeciation and vice versa, while the occurrence of true generalism in nature has also been questioned. We arguethat generalism in resource use, biotope occupancy, and niche breadth not only exists, but also forms a crucial partin the evolution of specialists, representing a vital force in speciation and a more effective insurance againstextinction. We model the part played by generalism and specialism in speciation and illustrate how a balance maybe maintained between the number of specialists and generalists within taxa. The balance occurs as an ongoingcycle arising from turnover in the production of specialists and generalists, speciation, and species extinction. Thenature of the balance depends on the type of resources exploited, biotopes, and niche space occupied. These varybetween different regions and create taxonomic biases towards generalists or specialists. We envisage thatthe process may be sympatric/parapatric, although it is more likely initiated by allopatry driven by abiotic forces.
