摘要: 1Will the extinction of a single species in a community cause the loss of many others? Can we identify a set of species that are so important in determining the ecological functioning of a com-munity that they warrant special conservation efforts? The answer to these questions hinges on the existence of a limited number of species whose loss would precipitate many further ex-tinctions; these species have often been labeled keystone species. The term keystone species has en-joyed an enduring popularity in the eco-logical literature since its …
