Primes¶
- Increasing Returns
- … autocatalytic chemistry — Eigen's (1971) hypercycle and Kauffman's (1986) autocatalytic-set models both turn on the product-catalyzes-production gradient — through the Allee effect in ecology, where per-capita reproductive success rises with density up to a point, to the cumulative-citation Matthew effect in science.
This sourceOriginal empirical and conceptual case for cooperation as an evolutionary advantage at low density, identifying the regime in which per-capita reproductive and survival rates rise with population density up to a point — the ecological instantiation of increasing returns later named the Allee effect.

Allee 1931 supplies the density-dependence-of-reproduction strand behind the Allee-effect clause only; it says nothing about autocatalytic chemistry or the Matthew effect.
“The experience of Warren that Daphnia lose their reproductive capacity long before they die, and that in such a condition they may be able to live through adverse conditions produced by overcrowding and again take up reproduction when conditions become more favor- able, is a case in point.”

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? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 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.
