An organism, typically an arthropod or small animal, that lives on or inhabits plant stems.
From Latin 'caulis' (stem) plus '-cole' (inhabitant or dweller), literally meaning 'stem-dweller'. Part of a systematic naming convention for habitat specialists.
Tiny insects that live exclusively on plant stems have shaped an entire vocabulary—caulicole species represent nature's specialist strategy, where creatures evolve specifically to thrive on one plant part.
