It might seem that certain traits would clearly define a species as a keystone species; for example, Pisaster ochraceus is often a keystone predator because it consumes and suppresses mussel populations, which in the absence of this starfish can be a dominant species.
下面这句怎么翻译??? But such predation on a dominant or potentially dominant species occurs in systems that do as well as in systems that do not have species that play keystone roles??????????????.
