Yes, it is possible for a species to be both an umbrella species and a keystone species. Lemurs in Madagascar are an example of both a keystone and umbrella species. They are a keystone species because a certain kind of plant seed needs to go through their digestive system and be excreted before it's capable of germinating in the soil. They're also an umbrella species because their plight has been used in conservation efforts that have also helped other species that live in their habitat.
Yes.
Umbrella species are important because protecting them also benefits a wide range of other species that share their habitat. By focusing conservation efforts on umbrella species, we can indirectly protect the entire ecosystem in a cost-effective manner. This approach helps conserve biodiversity and maintain ecological balance.
