Indicator species are a useful management tool, and can help us delineate an ecoregion, indicate the status of an environmental condition, find a disease outbreak, or monitor pollution or climate change. In one sense, they can be used as an "early warning system" by biologists and conservation managers. Indicator species must also be accompanied by a thorough study of what is being indicated, what is really correlated, and how this one species fits into the rest of ecosystem.
The keystone species is critical to maintaining the stability of an ecosystem, and changes in its population indicate changes in ecosystem health.
In an ecosystem, a large number of species are dependent of one species of bird. This species of bird is an example of a keystone species.
keystone species is a species that has an unusually large impact on its ecosystem.
The keystone species in any given community protect other species from their predators, so that those species are able to function correctly and do their jobs, or add their contribution to keep the ecosystem up and running.

A keystone species is one that other lifeforms in an ecosystem depend on. Mosquitoes are a keystone species because they are extremely low on the food chain, and if they were removed from an ecosystem, the food supply would be interrupted.
Keystone Species
The term is biodiversity. High biodiversity means a large number of different species in an ecosystem. An ecosystem with many different species is less likely to be disrupted by environmental changes.
The American alligator, gray wolf and gopher tortoise are all examples of keystone species. The loss of a keystone species will upset the balance of an ecosystem.

This is a "keystone" species.
