(2014), which had showed that
detritivore groups prefer leaves of better quality, and this can be influenced by nutritional content and low content of compounds which complicate the fragmentation such as tannin, lignin and cellulose.

Compost piles supply resources that are ephemeral, unevenly distributed, and rich in energy; they sustain communities of
detritivore microarthropods like mites, where many species experience frequent population peaks in response to fresh inputs (TAYLOR et al., 2010).

Ophthalmidium is an epifaunal porcelaneous foraminifera (miliolids) with active deposit-feeder, herbivore and

In order to estimate feeding guild assemblages, each specimen was assigned the general feeding guild categories of
detritivore, herbivore or predator, based on the feeding habits reported for each taxon.
