  • upward conveyor
    • URI: http://polytraits.lifewatchgreece.eu/terms/RW_UC
    • Definition: Upward conveyors are vertically oriented species that typically feed head-down at depth in the sediment. Vertically oriented head-down feeders actively select and ingest particles at the deeper sediments and egest these non-locally as faeces in the sediment surface

  • downward conveyor
    • URI: http://polytraits.lifewatchgreece.eu/terms/RW_DC
    • Definition: Downward conveyors exhibit a feeding strategy opposite to that of upward conveyors. Vertically oriented head-up feeders actively select and ingest particles at the surface and egest these non-locally as faeces in deeper sediment strata
