=== Biology === [[Adilson E. Motter]] and collaborators demonstrated that Braess's paradox outcomes may often occur in biological and ecological systems.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi=10.1002/bies.200900128| pmid=20127700| pmc=2841822|title = Improved network performance via antagonism: From synthetic rescues to multi-drug combinations| journal=BioEssays| volume=32| issue=3| pages=236β245|year = 2010|last1 = Motter|first1 = Adilson E.| arxiv=1003.3391}}</ref> Motter suggests removing part of a perturbed network could rescue it. For resource management of endangered species [[food webs]], in which extinction of many species might follow sequentially, selective removal of a doomed species from the network could in principle bring about the positive outcome of preventing a series of further extinctions.<ref>Sahasrabudhe S., Motter A.
