Another form of small particulate food in aquatic habitats is the steady "rain" of organic matter that settles to the bottom: living and dead plankton and bits of dead animal, plant, and algal tissue. Suspension feeders pick this material from the water as it falls and deposit feeders consume...
Carbonate grains are more prone to be altered (micrite envelopes, grain breaking, dissolution) by the activity of deposit-feeders than detrital minerals such as quartz. Holothurids are deposit-feeders and some species such as H. scabra or H. forskali ingest more than 100g of sediment per ...
Trace fossil assemblages in the Lower Cambrian part of the group generally indicate endobenthic communities dominated by deposit‐feeding animals. At one level, however, an unusual succession of trace fossils occurs that includes Diplocraterion parallelum and a conical, branching shaft herewith named ...
Intense bioturbation of the sediments in which the burrows are located might suggest that some of the trace makers were definitely deposit feeders. Due to the lack of proper radiometric ages data, the lower part of the Bhander Group of rocks of central India has been assigned a Middle to ...

Malacostracans capture or obtain their food primarily by using their thoracic legs. In early free-swimming larvae and the adults of some filter-feeding or deposit-feeding amphipods, isopods, and hemicarideans and in large carnivorous palinuran decapods, food may be gathered (occasionally killed) ...
