Abstract Theory predicts that plants invest in defences proportional to the value or amount of
tissue at risk. Domatia-bearing plants house predatory arthropods that defend against insect …

Plant‐based defence mutualisms utilize plant morphology to reduce the performance of
plant parasites through their natural enemies. Leaf domatia primarily occur in the axials of …

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 …

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 are tiny structures in leaf vein axils that are typically inhabited by predatory and
fungivorous mites. A recent article reported plant domatia specifically suited for herbivorous …

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 …

Tropical forests include a diversity of habitats, which has led to specialization in plants. Near
Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, nutrient‐rich clay forests surround nutrient‐poor white …

The theory of resource availability suggests that slower growing species should be better
defended against herbivores. We tested this theory by examining differences in growth …

Plants with simple architecture and strong constraints on their growth may offer critical
insights into how growth strategies affect the tolerance of plants to herbivory. Although …

Domatia are hollow structures in plants occupied by ant colonies, in turn ants provide
protection against herbivores. In plants, competition for resources has driven sex-related …
