|
| When you get a herbivore coming in that can exploit this resource, obviously it's maximum reproduction of the pest and massive growth. |

|
|
| Large herbivore grazing is an ecological process that has been missing from the prairie Park for a number of years. |
|
| Its scientific value is limited by the absence of the large predators that in the Pleistocene era would have kept herbivore numbers down. |
|
| Although the theridomyids are considered to have been herbivore browsers, some dental characters allow a more detailed conclusion on dietary adaptations. |
|
| Hence the plant response to attack will not only affect herbivore numbers, it will also affect the quality of the herbivore for other natural enemies. |
|
| Although the selective agent is unknown, the adaptive evolution of this gene may have resulted in increased effectiveness of pollinator attraction or herbivore repellence. |
|
| Are young Americans ready to move off the competitive playing field and onto the herbivore pastureland? |
|
| Sometimes a herbivore is defined as a creature that consumes mainly plant food. |
|
| Feeding activity and oviposition tests are both performed to assess the potential host range of a herbivore. |
|
| Habitat management may also involve herbivore management to avoid overgrazing by herbivores. |
|
| Once herbivore populations have been established, the plan is to acclimatize Siberian tigers, predators whose modern survival is threatened by poaching. |
|
| It is a monophagous herbivore that feeds on leaves and flower buds. |
|
| Biomass: Total mass of living organisms, taken either globally or in systematic groups by surface or volume unit, in a given biotope at a given moment, e.g. plant, insect, herbivore, carnivore biomass. |
|
| Nevertheless, galactolipids, rather than phlorotannins, act as herbivore deterrents in this species against the sea urchin Arbacia punctulata. |
|
| The effect of direct and indirect defenses in two wild brassicaceous plant species on a specialist herbivore and its gregarious endoparasitoid. |
|
| Stegosaurus was a large herbivore that lived roughly 150 million years ago and is famous for its two staggered rows of bony plates along its back. |
|
| As an elderly herbivore of moderate opinions myself, I can tell you it's tough getting much of a defence of, say, Tony Blair, into the paper on occasion. |
|
| The accumulation of fine particulate matter on the herbivore exclusion structures in Basin Head lagoon in 2007 points to a factor potentially impacting Irish moss growth and survival. |
|
| The goals of this long-term study are to examine the interplay of this keystone herbivore and its habitat, especially in response to increases in goose numbers and climate change. |
|
| Fish are represented at several trophic levels in aquatic systems, from detritivore and herbivore to carnivore. |
|
| Moa-nalos did not occur on Hawaii, which was occupied by another herbivore, the Giant Hawaiian Goose. |
|
|
|
| The smaller Ornithischian herbivore dinosaurs, like stegosaurs and small ornithopods were less predominant, but played important roles. |
|
| Another form of unintentional introductions is when an intentionally introduced plant carries a parasite or herbivore with it. |
|
| By the Jurassic, the dinosaurs had come to dominate the large terrestrial herbivore niches as well. |
|
| The marsupials remained the dominant Australian mammals, with herbivore forms including wombats and kangaroos, and the huge Diprotodon. |
|
| This index can be effectively used to determine the number of herbivore and mammal species numbers within a given area. |
|
| Flies attracted to the moss carry its spores to fresh herbivore dung, which is the favoured habitat of the species of this genus. |
|
| Acquisition of a native host-plant by an introduced oligophagous herbivore. |
|
| Herbivore-damaged plants release many types of volatile organic compounds, which guide parasitoids to their herbivore hosts. |
|
| Scientists infer that it was a small, bipedal herbivore that would have foraged for its food and stayed out of the way of larger, carnivorous predators. |
|
| Moreover, different host plants of the herbivore have considerable effect on the behavior of their natural enemies, especially koinobiont species. |
|
| The Arctic hare is a herbivore, and specifically a folivore. |
|
| Recent studies, however, have shown that cave bears could have opportunistically adapted to a fairly omnivorous diet and consumed many herbivore carcasses. |
|
| The European bison, the largest herbivore in Europe, became extinct in the wild in the early 20th century due to severe hunting pressure and habitat loss. |
|
| Each herbivore entrapment probably triggered a feeding frenzy that resulted in up to a dozen predators being trapped as well, says Van Valkenburgh. |
|
| Several studies have shown that other plant-derived chemicals can serve as natural elicitors, leading to changes in herbivore preference or rates of damage sustained. |
|
| Corn earworm saliva induces herbivore defense gene expression in corn. |
|
| Rather than make a fruitless comparison of food plants, it is perhaps preferable to simply categorize the vole as a herbivore and the field mouse as a granivore. |
