It finds that symmetric increases in competition make all three species more likely to survive, while asymmetric highly reactive species raise the risk of extinction.","discovery_kind":"extension","skeptic_critique":null,"referee_report":null,"author_rebuttal":null,"desk_editor":null,"rs_alignment":null,"lean_confirmation":null,"pith_extraction":null,"created_at":"2026-08-16T12:39:27.867433+00:00","model_set":{"reader":"deepseek-v4-flash"},"falsifier":null,"supporting_citations":[],"review_version":1}
