1.

Wolf reintroductions into the Yellowstone environment restored riparian species and increased biodiversity because wolves controlled the numbers of elk and coyotes which allowed plants, beaver, and foxes to rebound (Ripple and Beschta 2003).

2.

The creation of a reserve protects the red-brown treecreeper (Climacteris picumnus). This approach looks to accommodate processes that threaten species viability, such as fragmentation and feral predators (Nicholson et al. 2013).

3.

Species richness of tiger beetles, Cicindelidae, is positively correlated with bird and butterfly diversity across North America, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent (Reid, 1998).
