“…Overall, the study of the biological bases of behavior is a growing and promising area in individual differences and can lead to several insights in polymathy studies (see also Zeidán-Chuliá and Argou-Cardozo, 2018 ). By delving into the neurochemically based aspects of behavioral regulation, we can arrive at a more comprehensive picture regarding the phenomenon of polymathy, especially under the person and process perspectives in polymathy studies.…”

It is increasingly argued that polymathy—vocational and avocational pursuits in multiple domains—is deeply associated with creativity and innovation, and that its development enables the creation of important bridges between otherwise fragmented, dispersed sets of knowledge. Nevertheless, the dominant culture in both industry and academia is still that of narrow specialization. In this paper, we argue that in the context of COVID-19 crisis, with its wicked and transdisciplinary nature, the disciplinary approach of specialization is ill-suited to solve our increasingly complex problems, and that polymathic thinking can be a crucial asset in this regard. Drawing on different literature strands, we first examine the interplay between polymathy and other well-developed constructs in personality and temperament research. We then advance theoretical predictions regarding the relationship between trait polymathy and resilience in the COVID-19 crisis. After that, we discuss learnable strategies that can be used in complex, uncertain and adverse situations, which are associated with development of a more polymathic (broader, deeper and more integrated) set of knowledge. Later, we discuss how it may be possible to better capitalize on the key features of polymathic thinking at the societal level. Finally, we conclude with a reflection on the adequacy of our current institutions for dealing with complex problems, and we underscore the crucial role of polymathic thinking in an increasingly complex and interrelated world.

“…Different groups have studied the potential deleterious effects of GLY / Roundup ® in the context of diverse and apparently unrelated human pathologies such as carcinogenesis and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), with particular interest on data suggesting mechanisms that may undergo undetected in traditional toxicology studies, such as disruption of microbiome balance endocrine system at very low concentrations [3,4]. As for physiological conditions, most causes of developmental aberrancies in animals are thought to deal with multifactorial gene-environment interactions and probably one the most important factor currently affecting human health is the close exposure to pesticides [5][6][7][8][9]. In addition, various reasons have been hypothesized for the growing human infertility rate, and environmental pollutants have been associated with this change [10][11][12].…”

Glyphosate (GLY) is the active ingredient of Roundup® and it is the most utilized herbicide worldwide in the maintenance of conventional agricultural crops, and lawns in parks. A growing number of studies have associated environmental GLY to different pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and autism. Different fish species have been used for a long time as experimental biological models to measure the environmental impact of different substances. Therefore, the present study approached the possible association between the exposure to GLY / Roundup® and the ecotoxicological impact on fish reproductive health. With this goal, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the literature and its content by systematic review of international databases. Two independent electronic searches were performed on Medline / PubMed and Scielo for identifying relevant studies published in English up to September 2019. The application of inclusion / exclusion criteria settled the boundaries for this systematic review and after qualitative analysis of the data; we found evidences that suggest a link between the exposure to GLY / Roundup® with deleterious effects on reproductive health in eight different species of fish.
