the book Where the Wild Things Were covers this topic pretty extensively. Beyond reducing the population, wild predators change deer behavior. They return to natural vigilance and no longer browse trees down to the bone or do they destroy all new growth in a forest. Furthermore, with thinned populations, you don't see the high incidence of tuberculosis of recent years. Wolves significantly improve the health of both deer and the forests they live in.
If you want a book, here's an idea: Where the wild things were. It's a great read and describes a bunch of case studies that highlight the importance of top predators in ecosystems.
Just finished Rat Island and Where the Wild Things Were by William Stolzenburg. Very well written, and really great if you like being depressed--turns out humanity is destroying the planet for other living things.
