Primes¶
- Parrondo's Paradox
- In evolutionary biology, alternating between two environments that each individually select against a phenotype can favor it in the long run when state-dependence creates a Parrondo-like coupling, and microbial bet-hedging realizes this explicitly.
This sourceShows bet-hedging and stochastic phenotype switching as winning strategies in fluctuating environments, a Parrondo-type coupling.

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? 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.
