Spanish term or phrase: aproximación de grano fino
Extract from a chapter of a book on ecology. This deals with historical aspects and conservationist biology. I have no idea what this term refers to however. There is a similar term later in the paragraph. "Thin/large seed approximation"??? TIA, Jason.

Estas ideas, que reforzaban buena parte de los planteamientos conservacionistas de los naturalistas, han producido tensiones con aquellas otras aproximaciones más centradas en la gestión de los sistemas ecológicos ahora desplazadas del núcleo de un razonamiento excesivamente poblacional. Surge así un cierto dualismo conceptual y metodológico a la hora de abordar la conservación que aún persiste en nuestros días. La denominada ***aproximación de grano fino*** (también llamada específica o composicionalista) se centra en la protección de las especies e integra buena parte de la tradición naturalista de la biología, enriquecida ahora por los planteamientos evolutivos de la Biología de la Conservación. La conservación de grano grueso(también llamada ecosistémica o funcionalista), digna sucesora de los desvelos conservacionistas de la Ecología, se centra en la protección de niveles superiores de integración de la materia viva, como los ecosistemas.

fine-detail approach


Explanation:
No Google hits but the definitions of "compositionalist" and "functionalist" given in the reference below might mean I'm close. You could always use these terms, which seem to be in common use, and put the "fine and coarse whatever" in quotation marks. I suppose the following phrase would be "broad-brush" approach!!

cereals, oilseeds, degrees of evolution


Explanation:
grano fino in agriculture are cereals: wheat, oats (trigo, avena),
grano grueso in agriculture are oil seeds: maize, soybean (maiz, soja)

I think if you look up an evolutionary chain you will find that cereals appeared on the earth before oil seeds.
