Specialization-generalization trade-off in a Bradyrhizobium symbiosis with wild legume hosts.

BMC ecology - 19 Mar 2014

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Specialized interactions help structure communities, but persistence of specialized organisms is puzzling because a generalist can occupy more environments and partake in more beneficial interactions. The "Jack-of-all-trades is a master of none" hypothesis asserts that specialists persist because the fitness of a generalist utilizing a particular habitat is lower than that of a specialist adapted to...
