Is the omegaverse a consequence of the study of enclosed wolves?

Scientists say: What are you talking about?

Vaguely, yes, in terms of general inspiration, since I think this study was very popular in the cultural zeitgeist and also inspired terminology in other areas (like the whole "alpha males" thing) but in terms of "fandom history" the source of the omegaverse and it's subsequent meteoric rise as a fanfic trope is generally considered to be the Supernatural fandom.
