Jaguars are a keystone species in the Amazon. Describe how they can be so essential to the ecosystem despite being significantly less abundant than many other species.

jaguars are keystone species because they feed herbivorous species that might decimate the plants of the ecosystem

Explanation:

Keynote species are species that help to maintain the homeostasis of the ecosystem so if they lack then the ecosystem would change drastically. Moreover, a top predator is a predator that occupies the highest trophic level in the food chain. Jaguars are both keystone species and top predators that feed herbivorous species, maintaining the health of the food chain by eliminating the excess of primary consumers that otherwise would feed too many plants (i.e., primary producers) which produce and store energy at the bottom of the food chain.

true, i don't really know what you're asking but from the info you provided im guessing the answer is true.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
