Keystone species: Species with major effects on ecological functions and whose elimination would affect many other members of the biological community.

Flagship species: Species that are especially interesting or attractive organisms to which people react emotionally. These species can motivate the public to preserve biodiversity and contribute to conservation.

Indicator species: Species tied to specific biotic communities or successional stages or a set of environmental conditions. They can be reliably found under certain conditions but not others.

Umbrella species: Species that require large blocks of relatively undisturbed habitat to maintain viable populations. Saving this habitat also benefits other species.
