Bottlenose dolphins are considered a keystone species because they play a crucial role in maintaining the structure of their marine ecosystem. As apex predators, they help regulate fish populations, which in turn affects the abundance and diversity of other marine species. Their hunting behaviors can influence the distribution of prey species, promoting a balanced ecosystem. Additionally, their presence can indicate the health of the marine environment, serving as a barometer for ecological changes.
