- Networking — collision probability in random-backoff and address-assignment schemes follows the same √K rule. Biology — mate-finding, parasite–host encounter, and receptor–antigen binding all turn on pairwise collision rates in finite pools.
This sourceDerives mate-encounter rates from random pairwise encounters following the mass-action law, with the rate of successful matings proportional to the product of male and female densities — the pairwise (∼N²) collision kinetics governing mate-finding in finite pools.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports mate-finding by density-dependent encounter but not the pairwise N² collision mechanism, the other biological examples, or the networking √K rule.
“this rate increases with male and female densities (hence observing a mate-finding Allee effect), in a decelerating or sigmoid way”

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.
