• Worldwide decline of specialist species: toward a global functional homogenization? (2011, background): “Richmond et al. (2005) also questioned the impact of FH on an ecosystem over an evolutionary time scale and found that the replacement of specialists by generalists changes the equilibrium of the ecosystem.”
• The generalist―specialist continuum: Testing predictions for distribution and trends in British butterflies (2013, unknown): “In principle, generalists can never outperform specialists owing to the extra costs associated with exploiting multiple resources and of evolving costly tolerances to variable environmental conditions (Richmond et al., 2005).”
