| Abstract： | The decline of apex predators has cascading effects on ecosys-tem structure and function. Hammerschlag et al. reveal how the loss of white sharks in False Bay, South Africa triggered an increase in mesopredators and a decline in prey, underscoring the critical process of trophic cascades in shaping marine community structure. |
