Keystone
Species
Invasive
Species
A keystone species is an animal that plays a HUGE role in their biome and ecosystem. These
species will impact the population of multiple animals and the growth of plants in the ecosystem.
Use the following website to learn more about keystone species:
http://education.nationalgeographic.com/education/encyclopedia/keystone-species/?ar_a=1
Then go to Google and search your biome + Key stone species.
An invasive species is a species that moves to a new ecosystem and heavily impacts the animal and
plant life in that new ecosystem, particularly the food web of the new ecosystem. Usually invasive
species are introduced to a new ecosystem with the help of humans, but sometimes it happens
naturally. Use the following website to learn more about invasive species:
http://www.nwf.org/wildlife/threats-to-wildlife/invasive-species.aspx
Then go to Google and search your biome + invasive species
