StatusUnavailable — filed 2026-10-29 from the triage of the day, not read. A lawful full text was sought on 2026-10-29 and not reached. OpenAlex reports it closed with the Elsevier DOI as its only location, and Semantic Scholar reports no open copy. The author's other reprints are on his old University of Arizona faculty pages (www.eebweb.arizona.edu/Faculty/chesson/Peter/Reprints/), but that host returned 503 or reset the connection on 2026-10-29, its publication list could not be opened, and no address for this paper's reprint was found by search; the lab's current pages (eeb.arizona.edu/chesson-lab, /chesson-publications) list it without a link. web.archive.org reset every connection, so no capture of a reprint could be checked. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied or the faculty pages answer. No NOTE is filed.

Why this is here

QUESTION-132 asks when differentiated operators each recover when rare, and names its first outcome, stabilizing coexistence, for Chesson without having read him. Hofbauer and Schreiber (LIT-1233, NOTE-1379) say they make rigorous this paper’s “−i community”, the community a species must invade for its recovery-when-rare to count. So this paper is where the record’s multispecies recovery criterion comes from, and it stands in for Chesson’s review of 2000 (LIT-1219), which is Unavailable. QUESTION-083’s note of 2026-10-18 asks for Chesson to be read before any negative-frequency-dependence criterion there gets stronger standing.
