“He is surrounded by the detritus of his addiction in a waste area in the middle of a rubbish dump.”

“Instead, the aging amtracs are negotiating mine fields of urban detritus, swimming through ruined neighborhoods six feet beneath the fetid water.”

“You rummage through piles of junk in the hopes of finding a gem amongst the detritus.”

“The detritivore in the forest plays a crucial role in breaking down decaying organic matter.”

“Examples of terrestrial detritivore niches that did not exist in the Paleozoic include social insects with gut symbionts.”

“That largest detritivore coprolites, found in Medullosa stem and leaf-root peats, probably derive from giant millipedes and small arthropleurids.”

“The detrivore played a crucial role in the ecosystem by consuming decomposing vegetation and recycling nutrients back into the food chain.”

“Thus, the evidence shows conclusively that the damage documented here was caused by herbivores, not detritivores.”

“Some graze, some browse, some feed on plankton, some are scavengers or detritivores, some are active carnivores.”

“Insects include among their number parasites, parasitoids, carnivores, herbivores, scavengers, and detritivores.”

“Based on feeding habits, researchers broadly classify ray-finned fishes as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, zooplanktivores and detrivores.”

“The detrivores and decomposers are not always represented in these pyramids but they play an essential role in the cycle of material.”

“Some authors, for example, combine the subclasses Palaeotaxodonta and Cryptodonta into a single group of primitive detrivores with protobranch gills.”
