Like wolves, non-native lake trout have radically altered Yellowstone ecosystems (commentary)

The Yellowstone ecosystem's story of recovery has long been centered on the reintroduction of wolves, but it's becoming clear that non-native lake trout have had an equally transformative impact. These invasive fish have disrupted the lake trout population dynamics, affecting native species and altering the lake's ecosystem. This shift underscores the complexities of ecological balance and highlights the unintended consequences of introducing non-native species, reminding us that even well-intentioned restorations can have far-reaching impacts.
