Omnivorous diets that include both plant and animal products have been linked to several negative environmental impacts. Studies suggest deforestation, biodiversity loss, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, foodborne illnesses, and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animal products. Alternative diets and solutions include plant-based diets and sustainable animal agriculture, locally sourced and seasonal diets, reducing food…
Herbivore ecology is a biology field that studies the relationship between plant-eaters and plants. Herbivores play important roles in ecosystems by controlling plant growth and regulating plant species. Meanwhile, plants have developed various strategies to avoid herbivore damage, such as producing toxins and growing thorns or tough leaves. Herbivores, on the other hand, have adapted to overcome plant defenses by…

Amphibians, including frogs, toads, and salamanders, have a unique lifecycle from egg to adult. Eggs are laid in moist environments and are covered in jelly-like substances that protect them from predators and drying out. Once hatched, larvae, or tadpoles, feed on microscopic organisms in the water until they develop into juveniles with fully developed lungs and limbs. Adult amphibians are…
