Polyphagy (Ecology)

Polyphagie (Ökologie)

As a polyphag, animals are referred to as a broad food spectrum. Polyphagia is opposed to monophagy. Thus, polyphages are plant animals, which are not omnivorous in the sense of carnivores and herbivores, but which, unlike monophyte herbivores, use many different plant species for their nutrition. Als polyphag werden Tiere mit einem breiten Nahrungsspektrum bezeichnet. Die Polyphagie steht der Monophagie gegenüber. So sind polyphage Pflanzenfresser Tiere, die zwar keine Allesfresser im Sinne von Fleischfresser und Pflanzenfresser sind, die aber im Gegensatz zu monophagen Pflanzenfressern viele verschiedene Pflanzenarten zu ihrer Ernährung nutzen.
