Evidence suggests that by the early Cretaceous they were being replaced by large herds of herbivorous Ornithischians such as Stegosaurus Iguanodon and the Ceratopsians.

But Ruth Ley, a microbiologist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New york, says that pandas still harbour fewer cellulose-digesting enzymes than even non-exclusively herbivorous species such as humans.

More recently cycads also coexisted with large herbivorous mammals such as the ice age megafauna that only went extinct a few tens of thousands of years ago.

There's no doubt that cycad ancestors were contemporary with herbivorous dinosaurs for many hundreds of millions of years

which prey on herbivorous insects but also caterpillars of the Egyptian cotton leafworm moth Spodoptera littoralis a species that feeds on maize leaves.

These volatile organic compounds are known to be attractive to parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs inside other insects killing them Plants appear to use this strategy to fight back against herbivorous insects by calling for their enemies'enemies.

In contrast herbivorous insects tend to avoid the herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds. Adult moths and butterflies avoid food plants that are under attack by conspecifics.
