Detritivores are usually Plant tissues are made up of resilient molecules (cellulose, chitin, lignin and xylan) that decay at a much lower rate than other organic molecules. The activity of detritivores are the reason why we do not see an accumulation of plant litter in nature. Detritivores are an important aspect of many Typical detritivorous animals include Detritivores can be classified into more specific groups based on their size and biomes. Macrodetritivores are larger organisms such as millipedes, springtails, and woodlouse, while microdetritivores are smaller organisms such as bacteria. Ecology [ ] Detritivores play an important role as recyclers in the ecosystem's Detritivore feeding behaviour is affected by rainfall; moist soil increases detritivore feeding and excretion. Many detritivores live in mature Fungi, acting as decomposers, are important in today's terrestrial environment. During the By [ citation needed] See als...

Detritivores: • Detritivores break down detritus into smaller particles. • Detritus is the raw material for decomposition and includes dead plant remains such as flowers and leaves, and animal remains such as feces. • Example - Earthworm Functions of Detritivores: • They aid in the recycling of nutrients by breaking down dead and rotting materials. • Earthworms, aerate the soil and aid plant growth. • They aid with the elimination of dead matter and the prevention of disease transmission.

• • We examined the sensitivity of three common detritivores to three pesticides using acute toxicity tests. • • Our studied species were sensitive to the three pesticides, with the highest mortality found for chlorpyrifos. • • SSD indicated that our studied species were among the most sensitive to chloropyrifos and chlorothalonil reported in the literature. • • Extrapolation of ecotoxicological data with D. magna, would underestimate the real effects of pesticides in tropical stream. • • We highlight the need for more ecotoxicological studies that use tropical aquatic species from different trophic levels. Freshwater organisms are often sensitive to pesticides, but their sensitivity varies across different taxa and with pesticide type and action mode, as shown by multiple acute toxicity tests. Such variability hampers predictions about how freshwater ecosystems may be altered by pesticide toxicity, which is especially critical for understudied areas of the world such as the tropics. Furthermore, there is little information about the sensitivity of some organisms that are key components of stream food webs; this is the case of litter-feeding detritivorous invertebrates, which contribute to the fundamental process of litter decomposition. Here, we examined the sensitivity of three common detritivores [ Anchytarsus sp. (Coleoptera: Ptilodactylidae), Hyalella sp. (Amphipoda: Hyalellidae) and Lepidostoma sp. (Trichoptera: Lepidostomatidae)] to three pesticides commonly used (t...
