Life: The Science of Biology, Chapter 58.2, Problem 2R

Figure 1: The positive and negative effects of declining carnivores on the species.

Introduction:

The species constantly interact with the members of other species in their habitat. Some interactions like mutualism, commensalism, and symbiosis are beneficial for both the species while others like predation, parasitism, and competition may harm one and benefit another. Similarly, the wolf also affected its surrounding species in a positive as well as in a negative manner.
