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. |
These animals serve important ecological roles in estuaries and other shallow waters as filter feeders that ingest what is in the water and egest processed materials to the substrate. |
The material they egest in their faeces has a large surface area, providing easy access for decomposers such as bacteria and fungi. |
The birds eat the white berries and then egest the seeds within them. |
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. |
As the empty inner core fills with accumulating dense matter, there will be feedback that communicates the time to egest the wastes from the interior of the Sun. |
