Are Keystone species always predators?

Are top predators keystone species?

  • Answer:

    This depends on the ecosystem in question. However, largely the answer is yes. Without the top predators, the herbivore layer (the layer under the top predator) can over-populate causing habitat destruction and causing great disturbance to the rest of the ecosystem.
