Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Detritivores: Detritivores are animals that obtain nutrients mainly from decomposing organic material (detritus).
  • Herbivores: Herbivores are animals specialized for plant-based diets, often with teeth adapted for grinding fibrous food.
  • Filter Feeders: Filter feeders are animals that extract suspended particles from aquatic environments using structures such as cilia or siphons.
  • Carnivores: Carnivores are animals specialized for consuming animal tissue, with dentition adapted for capturing and processing prey.
  • Omnivores: Omnivores are animals with intermediate digestive anatomy able to process both plant and animal matter.
