Domain-specific¶
- Shelford's Law of Tolerance
- Ecological niche analysis — predicting where a species is found from its tolerance curves across multiple environmental axes, with the fundamental niche as the intersection of per-factor ranges, gated by whichever factor sits closest to a limit. Conservation biology — identifying climate vulnerability from tolerance-window narrowness (stenoecious versus euryecious) and projecting range contraction of cold-water fish under river warming directly off the thermal curve. Aquaculture and zoo husbandry — holding tank temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen inside each species' optimum band simultaneously, relaxing the binding factor first. Agricultural science — matching crop varieties to local temperature, water, and pH ranges, treating each factor's bounded tolerance as a planting constraint. Toxicology — the Bertrand rule for essential nutrients (selenium, vitamin A, iron), where both deficiency and excess are lethal: structurally the identical bounded-optimum shape under a sibling vocabulary, a within-living-systems instance

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
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.
