Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reintroduction of gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park and northern Idaho has had a cascading effect on the food web, which has resulted in the resurgence of multiple species, including beavers, ground squirrels, mice, gophers, willow, aspen, and cottonwood trees. This is because gray wolves control the populations of their prey, which, in turn, limits the destructive behavior of herbivores on vegetation and promotes the growth of vegetation resources for smaller, non-predatory species.
