Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they ANSWER: Correct Chapter 54 Question 6 Part A Food chains are sometimes short because ANSWER: moderate levels of disturbance. Examples include lions. Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they _____. Remove a keystone predator, and the population of creatures it once hunted can explode, pushing out other organisms and reducing species diversity. c. allow immigration of other predators. C) allow immigration of other predators. d. reduce the number of disruptions in the community. B. prey on the community s dominant species ʹ. Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they. stable conditions with no disturbance. E) prey only on the least abundant species in the community. Keystone species fall into broad categories: Predator. b. allow immigration of other predators. Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they _____. Such species help to maintain local biodiversity within a community either by controlling populations of other species that would otherwise dominate the community or by providing critical resources for a wide range of species. small and … frequent massive disturbance. B. prey on the community s dominant species ʹ. D. … B) prey on the community's dominant species. large and close to a mainland. human intervention to eliminate disturbance. c. prey only on the least abundant species in the community. 1. b. prey on the community's dominant species. By keeping the populations and range of their prey in check, keystone predators, impact other predators as well as other animal and plant species further down the food chain. Keystone predators can maintain species diversity in a community if they A) competitively exclude other predators. Sea otters are keystone predators that help to maintain high diversity levels by eating sea urchins. 2. C. allow immigration of other predators. They can have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem.Introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population density, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem.
