The ensemble of antagonistic matrices is introduced and studied. In antagonistic matrices the entries  i , j and  j , i are real and have opposite signs, or are both zero, and the diagonal is zero. This generalization of antisymmetric matrices is suggested by the linearized dynamics of competitive species in ecology.

An exact theory is developed for the spectral distribution and the leading eigenvalue of the corresponding sparse Jacobian matrices of large dynamical systems defined on sparse, random graphs with predator-prey, competitive, and mutualistic interactions that reveals that the nature of local interactions have a strong influence on system's stability.

The weight of the evidence, and the beliefs of most biologists, seem to support the view that ecosystems tend to be more stable, the larger the number of interacting species they contain, and that complexity makes for instability.

A statistical framework is developed that reconciles the two contrasting approaches of RMT to the long-standing, and at times fractious, ‘diversity-stability debate’, concerned with establishing whether large complex systems are likely to be stable.
