Which are true of keystone species (like predators)? Pick all that apply They tend to reduce diversity by eliminating resources for other species They have a larger impact on the ecosystem than their numbers would suggest They typically hunt their prey to extinction They are more abundant than most other species in their communities They can prevent abundant species from driving inferior competitors to extinction. They can limit the number of the dominant species
