once abundant predators throughout the North American continent‚ including at least five species and two million animals (Leonard‚ Vila‚ & Wayne‚ 2005). However‚ in just a couple of centuries‚ the wolf population dwindled. By the early to mid-1900’s only five percent of the population remained in the contiguous United States‚ and wolves were completely eradicated from Yellowstone by 1926 (Knight‚ McCoy‚ Chase‚ McCoy‚ & Holt‚ 2005).

Cascading Trophic Effects in Response to Apex Predator Removal Introduction The seemingly simple interaction between predator and prey can create effects that disseminate throughout an entire ecosystem. These interactions‚ or lack thereof‚ specifically result in trophic cascades. Cascading trophic effects typically occur from a change in the population density of apex predators. Due to the ever increasing impact of humans on nature‚ this field of ecological study is gaining more popularity as ecologists

observe the relationship between predator and prey populations as well as to observe the effects of competition in regards to space/habitat and food supply. It is also to observe some of the major factors that contribute to population increases and decreases and to learn how to plot data to observe patterns. I can determine the relationship between the predator and prey by analyzing the correlation between the two. I believe that the results will show that the predator and prey populations are dependant
