Should this article be mashed in and redirected to the Xerophyte page? --Lmaxsmith (talk) 23:15, 21 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so. Xerophyte is specifically about plants, while Xerophile describes any organism^[1]. Xerophile microbiology behaves significantly different from Xerophile plants, so it warrants having separate articles. --Anka.213 (talk) 08:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I think that since mechanism of adaption to low water activity is evolutionary it should be under its own section, or at least not physics. KylerHegarty (talk) 23:30, 24 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

In Wikipedia we do not capitalize all words section titles. --Altenmann >talk 00:59, 25 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
