You’re joking right? You don’t think any species have been affected by modern farming?
Have you been around Taber? There’s barely a blade of native grass left.
How could entire species not be affected ?

I could name a few.
Black bear
Grizzly bear
Wolves
Moose
Elk
Ground squirrels
Burrowing owls
Badgers
All in a negative way.
Very likely from pre colonization to post the deer populations would be impacts as they are today by changes in land use. We use to have a herd of deer in our yard every week and since a nearby overpass was built they are all gone. The Oldman Dam built for agriculture destroyed tons on deer habitat.
Animals to benefit from people? Coyotes, raccoons, skunks, eastern gray squirrels...transportation corridors opening up land for animals like deer to move...
