The interconnectedness of species became apparent from "summary" of American Wolf by Nate Blakeslee
The wolves were not the only creatures affected by their presence in the park. The elk, the wolves' primary prey, also felt the ripple effects of their reintroduction. With the wolves preying on the elk, the population of these herbivores decreased significantly. This, in turn, led to more vegetation growing along the riverbanks, as the elk were no longer there to graze on the plants. The increase in vegetation attracted more birds to the area, providing them with ample food and shelter. The beavers, too, benefited from the wolves' presence. With more trees growing along the riverbanks, the beavers had more material to build their dams and lodges. These dams, in turn, created habitats for fish, frogs, and other aquatic species. The wolves, by preying on the elk, indirectly contributed to the health and diversity of the ecosystem as a whole. The interconnectedness of these species became apparent as researchers studied the effects of the wolves' reintroduction. It became clear that the presence or absen...
