  • Xenophagy (Greek "strange" + "eating") and allotrophy (Greek "other" + "nutrient") are changes in established patterns of biological consumption, by individuals or groups. * In entomology, xenophagy is a categorical change in diet, such as an herbivore becoming carnivorous, a predator becoming necrophagous, a coprophage becoming necrophagous or carnivorous, or a reversal of such changes. Allotrophy is a less extreme change in diet, such as in the case of the seven-spot ladybird, which can diversify a diet of aphids to sometimes include pollen. There are several apparent cases of allotrophy in Israeli Longitarsus beetles. * In microbiology, xenophagy is the process by which a cell directs autophagy against pathogens, as reflected in the study of antiviral defenses. Cellular xenophagy is an innate component of immune responses, though the general importance of xenophagy is not yet certain. * In ecology, allotrophy is also reflected in eutrophication, being a change in nutrient source such as an aquatic ecosystem that starts receiving new nutrients from drainage of the surrounding land.

  • Xenofagie (van het Grieks: xenos, "vreemd" en fagein, "eten") en allotrofie (van het Grieks: alloi, "ander" en trophein, "voedingsstof") zijn grote veranderingen in vastgestelde patronen van biologische consumptie, door individuen of groepen. * In de entomologie is xenofagie een categorische verandering in de voeding, zoals een herbivoor die vleesetend wordt of een roofdier dat necrofagisch wordt, of een omkering van dergelijke veranderingen. Allotrofie is een minder extreme verandering in het voedingspatroon, zoals in het geval van het lieveheersbeestje met zeven vlekken dat een voedingspatroon van bladluizen soms bijvult met stuifmeel. Er zijn verschillende duidelijke gevallen van allotrofie bij de IsraĆ«lische Longitarsus-kevers. * In de microbiologie is xenofagie het proces waarbij een cel autofagie richt op pathogenen, zoals gedocumenteerd in de studie van antivirale afweer. Cellulaire xenofagie is een aangeboren onderdeel van afweerreacties, hoewel het algemene belang van xenofagie nog niet zeker is. * In de ecologie komt allotrofie ook tot uiting in eutrofiĆ«ring, aangezien het een verandering is in de voedingsbron, zoals een dat nieuwe voedingsstoffen begint te ontvangen door drainage van het omringende land.
