Insects include among their number parasites, parasitoids, carnivores, herbivores, scavengers, and detritivores. |
Some graze, some browse, some feed on plankton, some are scavengers or detritivores, some are active carnivores. |
Sodium, by contrast, can be quite difficult to obtain for detritivores and herbivores in the terrestrial environment. |
The members of Echinoidea are suspension feeders, herbivores, detritivores, and predators. |
Bristletails are nocturnal herbivores and detritivores with a very broad dietary range. |
Thus, the evidence shows conclusively that the damage documented here was caused by herbivores, not detritivores. |
