KEYSTONE SPECIES

Sometimes a species improves the habitat it lives in. When a living thing is key to the ecosystem working well, scientists call it a keystone species.

For example, honeybees are a keystone species. They pollinate flowers, spreading pollen from one to another. This allows plants to make seeds and fruit so they can reproduce. When bees help plants, they actually help create food and habitats for many other creatures too — aphids, ants, rabbits, butterflies, birds, and so on.

SCIENCE EXPERIMENT: WORM HABITAT

Earthworms are a keystone species. They mix up the soil and make channels that let air and water in. This makes a better habitat for plants’ roots to grow in and for animals to live in. To see how they do this, make a worm habitat.
