The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee) most probably represents the ancestor of the domestic water buffalo. [3] Results of a phylogenetic study indicate that the river-type water buffalo probably originated in western India and was domesticated about 6,300 years ago, whereas the swamp-type originated independently from Mainland Southeast Asia ...
The Southern Cattail grows between 2.0 and 2.5 meters in length and has flat sheaths to protect its core. It thrives in marshes and ecosystems where the land has a similarity to wetlands . It can also survive in high salinity water sources, making it much more resilient than similar species to this kind of cattail .
It is known in English as lesser bulrush, [3] [4] [5] and in American as narrowleaf cattail. [6] Description. Typha angustifolia grows 1.5–2 metres ...
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.
