Ecology and Society: Cultural keystone species: implications for ecological conservation and restoration |
 | | Factors such as the availability of resources, plant community structure, and proximity to other keystone species all affect the significance a community places on a particular organism. |
| | These species may be ubiquitous throughout a nation's territory, such as soapberry (Shepherdia canadensis) among the Secwepemc or Shuswap Nation of British Columbia. |
| | Conversely, some species may be used or depended upon by just one group within a broader culture or tribe. |
