A prominent consequence of defaunation are trophic cascades, where extirpation of keystone species can alter top-down and bottom-up regulation of ecosystem structure. For example, the removal of consumers from ecosystems can release the…
Large mammalian herbivores play a critical role in structuring ecosystems and regulating key ecosystem functions.
