MeSH Heading: Myrmecophytes
Tree Number(s): B01.650.305
Unique ID: D000097543
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000097543
Scope Note: Plants that host ANTS by providing shelter in specialized nesting structures or domatia (e.g., Beltian or Mullerian bodies) and sometimes provide food (e.g., food and pearl bodies; and EXTRAFLORAL NECTARS). Ant colony in turn provides the host plant with defense against encroaching foliage, nutrients via waste by-product and help with SEED DISPERSAL.
Entry Term(s): Ant Plants; Ant-Plants; Myrmecophytic Ant-Plants; Myrmecophytic Plants
