More broad form of specialization in biology
editSpecialization (biology) redirects here, but "specialization" is used to refer to more than just modern species' resource requirements. It can also refer to specializations that occurred in the distant past in response to selective pressures and define entire taxonomic classes, like Mammalia, Aves, or Insecta. (examples can be found by googling "specialization of mammal", "specialization of avian" or "specialization of insect".) Another form I've seen is describing digit reduction as a 'specialization' of limbs like in ungulates, even if this trait produced relatively generalist modern species. So should there be a section that describes this more broad form of specialization? Rauisuchian (talk) 15:31, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
