Primes¶
- Synergy and Antagonism
- Failure mode: high-dimensional datasets (genomics, neuroimaging, multivariate systems) generate interaction terms that are statistically significant but mechanistically inscrutable — paralleling the partitioning problem Loreau and Hector (2001) addressed for biodiversity-ecosystem function, where complementarity and selection effects must be separated despite the combinatorial explosion of species combinations.
This sourceMethod for separating the selection effect (dominance of high-yielding species) from the complementarity effect (true synergistic interactions among species) in biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments; standard tool for interpreting high-dimensional interaction data without conflating mechanism categories.

Abstract confirms the paper separates selection and complementarity effects in biodiversity experiments; it says nothing of a combinatorial explosion of species combinations.
“The interpretation of these experiments, however, has been controversial 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 because two types of mechanism may operate in combination 6 , 13 , 14 , 15 . In the ‘selection effect’, dominance by species with particular traits affects ecosystem processes. In the ‘complementarity effect’, resource partitioning or positive interactions lead to increased total resource use. Here we present a new …”

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 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.
