For Biopredation we have a term and definition in Book Collecting.

Biopredation (Book Collecting)

A descriptive euphemism for "insect damaged". Presumably it might also describe rodent damage, but in general rodent damage isn't actual predation, as the little mammals don't actually feed on the book, they usually gnaw on it to keep the little rat incisors in good shape. As euphemisms go, I prefer threading, which describes the particular appearance of the defect, rather than implying an appearance by making an educated guess at the cause.
