Herbivores
![Page 5: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of herbivores
• Grazers - leaf tissue
• Browsers - woody tissue
• Granivores - seeds
• Frugivores - fruit
• Nectivores - nectar
• Phloem feeders - sap
• High cellulose (fiber), low protein
• Animals can’t digest cellulose (no cellulase enzymes)
• Need symbiotic bacteria, protozoa

Ruminants(e.g. cows, sheep, deer)
![Page 7: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Non-ruminants(e.g. rabbits, horses)
![Page 8: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Coprophagy
= ingestion of feces
• E.g. Lagomorphs (rabbits, hares & pikas)
• E.g. Detritivores

N and food quality
• For herbivores, food quality increases with increasing N content
• In animals, C:N ~ 10:1
• In plants, C:N ~ 40:1 herbivores limited by N availability– Highest in growing stems, leaves, buds– Decreases as plant agesHerbivores usually born in spring

Carnivores
![Page 12: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Composition of food similar to own tissues--> simple stomach --> small caecum
• Need to get enough food
![Page 13: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Omnivores
• Feed on > 1 trophic level, e.g. plants and herbivores
• Diet varies with season, life cycle
![Page 14: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Diet breadth
1. Generalists: “polyphagous” – eat >1 prey species
2. Specialists: “monophagous” – eat one prey species – or eat specific part of prey
• E.g. seed-eating birds
• Specialists are usually• Short-lived (active only when food is available)• Highly adapted to a specific food type (can’t use
any other)

Because of their small size (high surface: volume ratio) and their need to invest energy in growth, juvenile birds and mammals are often ectothermic, obtaining heat from their parents.
Conserving energy – ectothermy for juveniles
![Page 31: Animal adaptations Outline: Acquisition of energy and nutrients Respiration Homeostasis Water balance Biological rhythms Readings: Chapter 7.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e185503460f94b03d13/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bears are not true hibernators; their body temperature drops only a few degrees, and they are relatively easily awakened
Conserving energy – hibernation
