It was a trout-sized detritivorous fish that lived in estuaries of the early Devonian.
2.
Foraging activities of " M . bellicosus " and other detritivorous termites are at a peak during the rainy season.
3.
These arthropods lived on the sea bottom ( epifaunal ) and lived off dead particulate organic matter ( a lifestyle called detritivorous ).
4.
Chitinivorous organisms include many bacteria ( Aeromonads, " Bacillus ", " Vibrio ", among others ), which may be pathogenic or detritivorous.
5.
Composting worms which are detritivorous ( eaters of trash ), such as the red wiggler " Eisenia fetidae ", are epigeic ( surface dwellers ) together with symbiotic associated microbes are the ideal vectors for decomposing food waste.
6.
Pill millipedes are relatively short-bodied compared to most other millipedes, with only eleven to thirteen body segments, and are capable of rolling into a ball when disturbed, as a detritivorous, feeding on decomposing plant matter, usually in woodlands.
7.
Nontarget effects on some insects ( predatory and detritivorous beetles, some parasitic wasps and bees ) were also found in field trials of fipronil for desert locust control in Mauritania, and very low doses ( 0.6-2.0 g a . i . / ha ) used against grasshoppers in Niger caused impacts on nontarget insects comparable to those found with other insecticides used in grasshopper control.
