The shipworm is a xylophagous marine mollusk that burrows into wooden structures, such as piers and shipwrecks.

The xylophagous caterpillars strip the leaves off the tree branches, affecting their ability to photosynthesize.

The xylophagous fungus has spread throughout the forest, leading to the decay of many trees.

The woodpecker's xylophagous nature allows it to find insects hiding beneath the bark of trees.

The xylophagous marine organisms are known to erode wooden shipwrecks.

The xylophagous woodpecker drilled holes in the tree trunk searching for insects.

The xylophagous beetle infestation in the forest has resulted in a significant loss of timber.
