I'm thinking, they're trying to find how the absence of the alligator will impact the ecosystem. it will cause the ecosystem to rapture because there are no consumers to control the ecosystem. I'm not sure though but this question is similar to when wolves of key stone park left how it impacted the ecosystem

There is nothing to control the fish growth which would lead to more fish and probably less food for each fish kinda like a cycle where one thing effects another
