Parrondo-like evolutionary advantage from stochastic switching between specialist and generalist strategies in fluctuating environments.

Abstract excerpt

Organisms have evolved various mechanisms to cope with stochastic environmental fluctuations, and the survival strategies of being generalists and specialists are particularly crucial in this context. Generalists prioritize long-term population survival, providing equal benefits in both favorable and unfavorable environments. In contrast, specialists focus on short-term rapid growth, with benefits that differ...
