The Crucial Role of Predators: A New Perspective on Ecology by Caroline Fraser
15 Sep 2011: Analysis by caroline fraser Found in the North Palace at Ninevah, stone panels depicting the Royal Lion Hunt of the last Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal, are as violent as any video game: A female lion flies upside down, arrows protruding from her back and belly. Beneath her, a male rears back, arrows piercing his nasal passages while another male drags his hindquarters behind him. From the king’s chariot, attendants drive spears through the chest of another. The panels are two-and-a-half thousand years old, and the story they tell is nearly over. Just as the world’s lions, tigers, and bears are disappearing worldwide, a scientific consensus is emerging that they are critical to ecosystem function, exerting control over smaller predators, prey, and the plant world. Experts on predation have become increasingly convinced that ecosystems are ruled from the top. These are hardly new ideas: Both publications catalogue decades of work examining the power of predators. U.S.

American Indian Use of Fire in Ecosystems References
Gerald W. Williams, Ph.D., Historical Analyst USDA Forest Service Washington, D.C. 2001(pdf file of the Williams Bibliography, 1.03 MB) (With contributions by William Reed, Boise NF, Sandra Morris, Region 1, and Henry T. May 18, 2001 Evidence for the purposeful use of fire by American Indians (also termed Native Americans, Indigenous People, and First Nations/People) in many ecosystems has been easy to document but difficult to substantiate. It often seems that the common impression about the American West is that, before the arrival of people of European descent, Native Americans had essentially no effect on the land, the wildlife, or the ecosystems, except that they harvested trivial amounts that did not affect the "natural" abundances of plants and animals. Fire scientists often attribute old fire scars found in tree rings to natural causes, such as lightning rather than anthropogenic caused.
