WHAT DOES DOMATIUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

domatium

Domatium

A domatium is a tiny chamber produced by plants that house arthropods. Domatia differ from galls in that they are produced by the plant rather than being induced by their inhabitants. Most domatia are either inhabited by mites or ants, in what can be a mutualist relationship, but other arthropods such as thrips may take advantage of the protection offered by this structure. Domatia occupied by ants are called myrmecodomatia. An important class of myrmecodomatia comprise large, hollow spines of certain acacias such as Acacia sphaerocephala, in which ants of the genera Pseudomyrmex and Tetraponera make their nests. Plants that provide myrmecodomatia are called myrmecophytes. The variety of the plants that provide myrmecodomatia, and the ranges of forms of such domatia are considerable. Some plants, such as Myrmecodia, grow large bulbous structures riddled with channels in which their ants may establish themselves, both for mutual protection and for the nutritive benefit of the ants' wastes. Domatia are often formed on the lower surface of leaves, at the juncture of the midrib and the veins.
