Reply to comment by RoChambeauxPDX in TIL beavers are a keystone species, which means they play an important role in ecosystems by modifying the area in a way that is beneficial to plants and animals by jewkakasaurus

The species beavers disrupted died or evolved. There are plenty of species humans are keystones for: dogs, cats, pigeons, rats, etc.. The problem is we definitely change the environment dramatically more than any other species and kill off way to many "competitors".
