Figure 54.17 EXPERIMENT RESULTS Figure 54.17 Inquiry: Is Pisaster ochraceus a keystone predator? Keystone species exert strong control on a community by their ecological roles, or niches In contrast to dominant species, they are not necessarily abundant in a community Field studies of sea stars illustrate their role as a keystone species in intertidal communities Dominant species are those that are most abundant or have the highest biomass Dominant species exert powerful control over the occurrence and distribution of other species For example, sugar maples have a major impact on shading and soil nutrient availability in eastern North America; this affects the distribution of other plant species 20 15 With Pisaster (control) Number of species present 10 Without Pisaster (experimental) 5 1963 ’64 ’65 ’66 ’67 ’68 ’69 ’70 ’71 ’72 ’73 Year

How is Lyme Disease a question for Community Ecologists? The Lyme disease bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, is spread through the bite of infected ticks. The blacklegged tick (or deer tick, Ixodes scapularis) spreads the disease in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central United States.
