Primes¶
- Substitutability
- In ecosystem services, biodiversity enables functional substitutability: if one pollinator species declines, others can compensate, preserving pollination function—a buffering effect that Loreau and colleagues (2001) document as the "insurance" benefit of species richness for ecosystem function under environmental change.
This sourceSynthesis paper establishing the "insurance hypothesis": species richness buffers ecosystem function under environmental change because functionally similar species are mutually substitutable, dampening loss of one through compensation by others.

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.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
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.
