A University of Arizona study has uncovered a relationship between an animal's body temperature and its likelihood of evolving into an herbivore. The study, published Monday in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography, offers insights into the evolution of plant-based diets across tetrapods, which include amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. The findings could reshape scientists' understanding of the evolution of animal diets.
