How does a keystone predator promote biodiversity?
Keystone species have lower levels of biomass in the trophic pyramid relative to the importance of their role. The loss of a keystone species results in a range of dramatic cascading effects that alters trophic dynamics, other food-web connections and can cause the extinction of other species in the community. If there are no keystone predators, no diversity. ChaCha!
