I've seen this in other sites. This one just came up today. A trophic cascade starts at the top of the food chain and tumbles to the bottom. One of the best examples of this happened in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 when wolves were reintroduced.
And a hunter killed the only wolf that made it back to the Grand Canyon.
