A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionate effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such an organism plays a role in its ecosystem that is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone feels the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch‚ the arch still collapses without it. Similarly‚ an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed‚ even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass

In tragedy‚ as in other departments of literature‚ the genius of Dryden overtops‚ on a general estimate‚ the productions of his lesser contemporaries‚ and

The Meiji Restoration was a significant turning point in Japanese history because it led to revolutionary changes in Japan’s economic and political structures. Commodore Matthew Perry’s arrival at Edo Bay (Tokyo was once named Edo) in 1853 demonstrated to Japan the superior military power of the West. Japan’s coast was not protected nor did the nation possess a navy capable of defending their marine food supply which helped feed Edo’s one million people. The Japanese reacted to their vulnerability
