CONT

Le détritivorisme secondaire consiste en l'ingestion directe de tissus animaux ou végétaux comme nourriture et leur conversion en biomasse animale vivante. Une partie du détritivorisme secondaire est en réalité de l'herbivorisme et du carnivorisme, car les organismes vivants sont souvent inclus dans les détritus et consommés, ce qui démontre le lien entre ces fonctions.
