Only us silly human beings think it's not straightforward. Apex predators think it's very straightforward.I think you've got to try to get an idea of how many apex predators there would be and how many fewer meso predators there would be.
Then you have to work out what prey species would be available to the apex predators that weren't available to the meso predators eg deer.
Then calculate what impact those changed population numbers would have on prey species.
It's not straightforward.
Clear off the opposition and then eat what you like. Couldn't be simpler. Predators aren't interested in "conservation," and they have no conscience. Deer , sheep , it's all the same to them.
