  • however, herbivory, and therefore the need for plant defenses, undoubtedly evolved among aquatic organisms in ancient lakes and oceans. (wikipedia.org)
  • There were two very early pathways to tetrapod herbivory in edaphosaurid evolution, one toward generalized browsing on high-fiber plant items ( Edaphosaurus ) and the other ( Gordodon ) toward more specialized browsing, at least some of it likely on higher nutrient, low fiber plant items.
