The presence of a top predator also helps to maintain balance in an ecosystem by influencing the behaviour and movements of its prey through the fear of being caught.
<h3>What is Trophic Cascade ?</h3>
trophic cascade, an ecological phenomenon triggered by the addition or removal of toppredators and involving reciprocal changes in the relative populations of predator and prey through a food chain
When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it.
The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed.
