- A consumer which attacks large numbers of large prey during its lifetime, but removes only a part of each prey individual, so that the effect although often harmful, is rarely lethal in the short term, and never predictably lethal; e.g. cow, mosquito, etc. keystone p.: is the wedge-shaped block at the highest point of an arch. its early use in food-web architecture referred to a top predator that has an indirect beneficial effect on a suite of inferior competitors by depressing the abundance of a superior competitor. removal of the keystone predator, just like removal of the keystone in an arch, leads to collapse of the structure (= true predator). true p.: utilizes a prey organism by killing some to many of them: • parasites: an organism that obtains its nutrients from one or very few host individuals, causing harm but not death immediately (obligate, facultative parasitism). • parasitoids.: insects (mostly wasps and flies) in which the adults are free-living, but eggs are laid, on or near an insect host (or rarely, a spider or isopod), after which the parasitoid larva develops in the host (itself usually a pre-adult), initially doing little apparent harm, but eventually consuming and killing the host before or during the pupal stage.
