Primes¶
- Braess's Paradox
- Ecology — experimental food-web and predator–prey configurations exhibit Braess-like responses where adding a link reduces productivity.
This sourceShows in model food webs that adding interactions can propagate extinction cascades while removing/suppressing a species can improve persistence — the Braess-like response where a network change moves the system non-monotonically.
Supported in partVerified against the work's full text
Model food webs show that removing or suppressing a species can prevent extinction cascades, a counterintuitive network response; it is simulated, and does not involve adding a link or measuring productivity.
“We show that the extinction of one species can often be compensated by the concurrent removal or population suppression of other specific species, a counterintuitive effect not previously tested in complex food webs.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
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.
