Across the tree of life, specialized structures that offer nesting sites to ants or mites – known as domatia – have evolved independently hundreds of times, facilitating ecologically important defence and/or nutritional mutualisms. Domatia show remar... Read More about Diversity and development of domatia: Symbiotic plant structures to host mutualistic ants or mites.
