| Abstract: | Keystone species are crucial in restoration ecology. Among all the keystone species known so far, live oysters are by far,
the most efficient ‘keystone niches’, attracting hundreds of species to them. A new classification of keystone species is
presented, including oysters as the best keystone niches.
