The researcher studied the xylophagous fungi that decompose dead trees in the forest.

The xylophagous sawdust indicates the presence of wood-boring insects.

The xylophagous beetles bore into the tree trunks, making them vulnerable to falling during storms.

The xylophagous fungi in the forest contribute to the decomposition of fallen trees.

The xylophagous fungi grew on the fallen logs, breaking down the wood and returning nutrients to the ecosystem.

The xylophagous made the process of sawing through the thick log much easier.

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

The xylophagous borer moth larvae feed on the wood of fallen trees.

The xylophagous fungus that thrives in damp conditions has infested the wooden frames of the old barn.

The xylophagous beetle burrowed deep into the tree trunk.

The xylophagous fungus caused extensive decay in the old wooden cabin.

The xylophagous shipworm can cause significant damage to underwater structures.
