Population densities in Nepal were found to be 0.9–2.7 animals per km 2, increasing to a maximum of 10 animals in the winter, as herds congregate in valleys. [5] Bharal are mainly grazers, but during times of scarcity of grass, they switch to browsers, eating forbs and shrubs. [10]
Herbivory is of extreme ecological importance and prevalence among insects.Perhaps one third (or 500,000) of all described species are herbivores. [4] Herbivorous insects are by far the most important animal pollinators, and constitute significant prey items for predatory animals, as well as acting as major parasites and predators of plants; parasitic species often induce the formation of galls.
The World's 100 most threatened species [1] is a compilation of the most threatened animals, plants, and fungi in the world.
