Primes¶
- Substitutability
- Walker (1992) crystallized this distinction in conservation biology, arguing that "ecological redundancy" among species performing similar functions is the substrate that enables substitution, but is not identical to it: redundancy is a population-level property of the community, while substitutability concerns the swap of one species into the role of another.
This sourceIntroduces the concept of ecological/functional redundancy among species occupying the same functional group; distinguishes population-level redundancy (the substrate) from one-for-one species substitution (the operation) in conservation planning.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
