Definition

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.
