| Gulls, although very numerous, consume and egest the smallest amounts of food and organic matter, but they are the smallest birds and their food is the most calorific of all. |
| The birds eat the white berries and then egest the seeds within them. |
| The material they egest in their faeces has a large surface area, providing easy access for decomposers such as bacteria and fungi. |
| Mussels filter ambient suspended matter from the water column, sort and process particles, and egest three different types of biodeposits. |
| Some species egest a pellet containing large amounts of plant fiber, and many frugivorous birds egest seeds that were stripped of their pulp by the gizzard. |
| The fact that aphids can ingest and egest for fairly long times with no interruptions, supports the idea that these vectors can sustain positive or negative pressure in the precibarial pump. |
