1. Leaf domatia are tiny structures in leaf vein axils that are widespread among plant taxa
and have been described to be typically inhabited by predatory and fungivorous mites. The …

Although associations between mites and leaf domatia have been widely reported, their
consequences for plants, especially for natural tree populations, particularly in the tropics …

Leaf domatia, minute structures that typically house mites and other small arthropods, are
produced by an impressive number of plants; however, their role in mediating plant–mite …

Associations between mites and leaf domatia have been widely reported, but little is known
about their consequences for either plants or mites. By excising domatia from leaves of the …

Domatia are small invaginations and hair tufts usually found at vein junctions on the
undersides of leaves in many woody dicots. Domatia of 32 plant species (of worldwide origin …

Acarodomatia are small tufts of hair or invaginations in the leaf surface and are frequently
inhabited by several taxa of non-plant-feeding mites. For many years, ecologists have …

Plant morphology may be shaped, in part, by the third trophic level. Leaf domatia, minute
enclosures usually in vein axils on the leaf underside, may provide the basis for protective …

Predators and plant resistance may act together to control herbivorous arthropod
populations or antagonistically, which would reduce the control of pest populations. In a field …

Leaf domatia, specialized chambers in the vein axils on the underside of leaves of many
plant species, have remained an enigma for over a century. In this study we show a strong …

Leaf domatia are plant-produced cavities usually found in the axils of major veins on the
abaxial side of leaves. These structures are found in many woody dicotyledonous plants and …
