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. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.

Paul [167]
 <span>A law is a theory that has explained a number of observed phenomena, and it has predicted a number of other phenomena which may as yet be unobserved.  

In that sense, a law is a theory that has not yet been proven wrong or given rise to any contradictions.
