Some examples of keystone species, and why they are considered keystone species Let us start by a pretty common example, such as the grey wolf (Canis lupus). This is an apex predator that feed on large herbivores such as moose, deer and roe deer, and are in many parts of the world important to keep these herbivore populations from growing too high.
There are a number of other well-described examples where keystone species act as determinate predators. Sea otters (i) regulate sea urchin populations, which in turn feed upon kelp and other macroalgae (Duggins 1980). The otters keep the sea urchin populations in check, thus allowing enough kelp forests to remain as a habitat for a variety of other species. As a result, the entire ecosystem is kept in balance. In terrestrial environments, fire ants function as keystone predators by suppressing the numbers of individuals and species of arthropods that could be harmful to agriculture.
