Oh interesting to think about the Yellowstone wolves in terms of health. I'm not sure if it's a good example, but I'm currently on antibiotics for a lung infection and even after a few days I can feel the effect on my entire body, because of course they're also fighting my good bacteria. It's really making me reflect on just how important those little things really are.
Hi Sophie, The wolves are just one way to think about how biological systems are connected in the same way aspects of our bodies. Your antibiotics are also indeed a good example of something that affects the whole system - the good news is that in either example the ecosystem is able to restore balance in time.
