| | Herbivore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Herbivores form an important link in the food chain as they transform the sun's energy stored in the plants to food that can be consumable by other carnivores up the food chain. | | | The diets of some herbivorous animals vary with the seasons, especially in the temperate zones, where different plant foods are most available at different times of year. | | | This specialization is far from universal, however, and many fruit- and leaf-eating animals also eat other parts of plants, notably roots and seeds. |

| | Honey bees take nectar from flowers for energy. | | | Plants are often very easy for herbivores to find, but they are sometimes low in the nutrients the animals need to grow and stay healthy. | | | Some herbivores have digestive systems to help them get the most out of the plants they eat. |

| | The Comparative Anatomy of Eating |
| | Herbivorous animals that consume plants containing a high proportion of cellulose must “ferment” (digest by bacterial enzyme action) their food to obtain the nutrient value. | | | The teeth of herbivorous animals are closely grouped so that the incisors form an efficient cropping/biting mechanism, and the upper and lower molars form extended platforms for crushing and grinding. | | | Although they eat some animal foods, bears are primarily herbivorous with 70-80% of their diet comprised of plant foods. |

| | Herbivores are more numerous than other animals because their food is the most abundant. | | | The most numerous type of herbivore is thought to be the zooplankton, tiny invertebrates in the surface waters of the oceans that feed on small photosynthetic algae. | | | Animal that feeds on green plants (or photosynthetic single-celled organisms) or their products, including seeds, fruit, and nectar. |

| | Comparison beweet the digestive tracts of a carnivore,a herbivore and Man |
| | Digestion of food in a carnivore is performed by enzymes produced by glands in the animal's own body and all the absorption of nutrients in that food is through the wall of the small intestine. | | | Herbivores with simpler stomachs have a relatively larger caecum to help with digestion. | | | By the time the chyme has passed through the animal's small intestine, the process of digestion and absorption of the nutrients in the food is complete. |

| | Plants and parasitoids of herbivorous insects |
| | Regardless of the term used, the interactions between plants and herbivore parasitoids can have a significant impact on herbivore feeding and thus, such a characteristic could be selected for in both the plants and parasitoids. | | | Most differences between herbivores feeding on the same species come from quantitative differences in the synomone bouquet, however there can be qualitative differences such as the production of different compounds (14). | | | Kairomones from the host (herbivore) or its frass (11) are more reliable than synomones from the plant (1). |

| | Turlings and his group conclude that the chemicals emitted by the plants in response to herbivory are easy to detect by insects and are clearly distinguishable from the extremely low levels of odors emitted by unharmed plants. | | | CONCLUSION As herbivores have adapted to be inconspicuous to their natural enemies, it can be expected that they would emit very little in terms of odors that parasitoids could use to locate them. | | | When an herbivore feeds on different structures of the same plant the odors emitted vary. |

| | What is a herbivore? |
| | A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. | | | Many herbivores have special digestive systems that let them digest all kinds of plants, including grasses. | | | If you put carnivores or some omnivores in your ecosystem, they'll eat your herbivores, so make sure you have enough herbivores to support them. |

| | herbivore -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | Plant cell walls are constructed mainly of cellulose, a material that the digestive enzymes of higher animals are unable to digest or disrupt. | | | The result is a pyramid of energy, with most energy concentrated in the photosynthetic organisms at the bottom of food chains and less energy... | | | A small amount of the energy stored in plants, between 5 and 25 percent, passes into herbivores (plant eaters) as they feed, and a similarly small percentage of the energy in herbivores then passes into carnivores (animal eaters). |

| | Dinosaur Diets - Enchanted Learning Software |
| | Some examples of omnivores are Ornithomimus and Oviraptor, which ate plants, eggs, insects, etc. Also, most herbivores are "accidental omnivores" in that when they are eating plants, they also ingest a lot of insects and small animals. | | | Plant-eaters (herbivores) usually have to eat a much larger volume of material than meat-eaters (carnivores) do in order to get the same amount of calories (this is because leaves, twigs, and roots are low in calories). | | | In any food chain, there have to be more organisms at the lower levels of the chain because the transfer of food energy is inefficient and much of the energy is lost at each stage of the process. |

| | Testing Hypotheses on Plant-herbivore Interactions Using Sawfly Galls on Willows (Abstract) |
| | Due to differences in genetic makeup and exposure to environmental factors (such as soil moisture and nutrient levels and exposure to plant pathogens and herbivores), plants vary in their chemical and physical traits. | | | Therefore, one might expect to find differences among plants in the number of herbivores that feed on them, the ways herbivores select feeding and oviposition sites, and the success of these herbivores. | | | Galls make great sampling units for investigating herbivory because they are discrete (each gall contains one herbivorous larva), quantifiable (easy to see and count), and indicative of insect preference (since each gall represents one successful oviposition by a female sawfly) and performance (successful larval development is indicated by an emergence hole). |
