herbivory

Examples of herbivory in the following topics:

• Predation, Herbivory, and the Competitive Exclusion Principle

  • Herbivory, on the other hand, refers to animals that eat plant matter.
  • Herbivory describes the consumption of plants by insects and other animals.
  • Some plants have developed mechanisms to defend against herbivory.
  • Species have evolved numerous mechanisms to escape predation and herbivory.
  • Distinguish between predation and herbivory and describe defense mechanisms against each

• Herbivory and Pollination

  • The diversity of plants can be attributed to pollination and herbivory, both examples of coevolution between animals and plants.
  • Herbivory has favored the development of defense mechanisms in plants and avoidance of those defense mechanisms in animals.
  • Many authors have attributed the diversity of plants and insects to pollination and herbivory, which is the consumption of plants by insects and other animals.
  • Herbivory has been used by seed plants for their own benefit in a display of mutualistic relationships.

• Community Ecology and Ecosystem Ecology

  • Examples of heterospecific interactions include predation, parasitism, herbivory, competition, and pollination.

• Leaf Structure, Function, and Adaptation

  • Trichomes help to avert herbivory by restricting insect movements or by storing toxic or bad-tasting compounds.

• Abscisic Acid, Ethylene, and Nontraditional Hormones

  • Jasmonates play a major role in defense responses to herbivory.
