A long-standing debate concerns the relationship between species diversity (complexity) and system stability. Early theories proposed a positive correlation: the more species present, the greater the chance that functionally redundant species will buffer against the loss of any single component. This is known as the 'Insurance Hypothesis'.
However, modern analyses involv…
