  • Keystone Species that Live in the Sea and Along the Coastline

    Library Binding (Mitchell Lane Publishers, Inc., July 30, 2015)
    Some keystone species are large, like white rhinos, while others are quite small, like honey bees. But size doesnt matter in an ecosystem. All living things rely on other species to survive. A keystone species plays an especially large role that affects many different species in an ecosystem. Some keystone species are at the top of a huge ecosystem like the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, while others may affect a tiny ecosystem in a river or forest. Whether the ecosystem is big or small, the result of a keystone species disappearing or being greatly reduced is the same. Just like one falling domino can cause many others to fall, the loss of a keystone species can lead to the extinction of many other species.
