plantas mirmecófitas
Scope note: Plantas que alojan HORMIGAS proporcionándoles refugio en estructuras de anidación especializadas o domacios (p. ej., cuerpos beltianos o müllerianos) y, a veces, alimento (p. ej., cuerpos alimentarios, cuerpos perlados y NECTARIOS EXTRAFLORALES). La colonia de hormigas, a su vez, proporciona a la planta anfitriona defensa contra la vegetación invasora, nutrientes a través de subproductos de desecho y ayuda con la DISPERSIÓN DE SEMILLAS.

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.
