Why are saprotrophs and detritivores are placed to one side of the energy pyramid

The saprotrophs and detritivores are placed to one side of the pyramid atop the producers since all the nutrients and some of the energy from all other levels passes through them when those levels die or leave wastes behind.

Explanation:

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.
