    Description

    A keystone species can be loosely defined as a species that has a disproportionately large effect on a community. They are critical components. They hold things together. And their removal from a community can set off a series of events that change the community into something quite different.

His columns also appear under “The Naturalist” in several other weekly newspapers across North Dakota.
