Description: WEBOct 19, 2023 · In the field of ecology, classifying a species as a generalist or a specialist is a way to identify what kinds of food and habitat resources it relies on to survive. Generalists can eat a variety of foods and thrive in a range of habitats.

Description: WEBA generalist species is able to thrive in a wide variety of environmental conditions and can make use of a variety of different resources (for example, a heterotroph with a varied diet ). A specialist species can thrive only in a narrow range of environmental conditions or has a limited diet.

Description: WEBDec 29, 2022 · A generalist is a species with a broad niche that is easily adaptable to many environmental conditions. These species are more likely to survive (and in larger numbers) due to the fact that they are able to easily relocate, change food sources, and adapt in other ways to new biomes.

Description: WEBDec 21, 2020 · Species in transformed habitats, frequently labelled as environmental generalists, tend to show broader niches than species in natural habitats. However, how population niche expansion translates into changes in the niches of individual organisms remains unclear, particularly in the context of habitat transformation.

Generalists can survive in many environments whereas specialists have a limited distribution. Although a classical concept in ecology, niche breadth has remained challenging to quantify because it depends on an objective definition of the environment.
