degrade lake habitats and food webs. The Chinese mystery snail (Bellamya chinensis), referred to as Bellamya, is an understudied invasive species that is becoming more abundant in the fresh water lakes of North America and poses a threat to the ecological community of the Great Lakes. Understanding how Bellamya can effect lake ecology is critical to preventing the possible extinction of native snail species and the degradation of lake habitats. A study conducted by Haak et al. (2017) aimed to…

wolves into the Yellowstone National Park. Hull-Crew states that the wolves have been responsible for a major ecological shift beginning at the top of the food chain, slowly making its way to the bottom, effecting everything from beaver dams to river bed erosion. Hull-Crew claims that the wolves have created what is called a “Trophic Cascade” of events.
