Resumen:
Keystone species are those species whose importance to an ecosystems structure, composition, and function is disproportionately large relative to their abundance. These species can be of any life form, but they have in common an eff ect on their environment that is always greater than what can be expected based on their biomass . Well-studied examples include sea stars, beavers, bears, corals, elephants, and hummingbirds.
