The process of succession is termed primary succession when it involves establishment of a community in a newly-formed habitat where even soil does not exist‚ such as on a volcanic island or on the rubble left behind by a retreating glacier - imagine Long Island just after the last glaciers receded - the process of a community of organisms becoming established on the pile of bare rock that formed

“When the gray wolf was extirpated from Yellowstone National Park in the 1920s‚ more was lost than just the noble and fascinating predator. The park’s entire ecosystem changed.

The researchers began studying the interaction of wolves with other parts of the ecosystem somewhat indirectly. “Back
