Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...

Oak galls exhibit ant-dispersal convergent with myrmecochorous seeds

, 2022
Ants disperse oak galls of some cynipid wasp species similarly to how they disperse seeds with elaiosomes. We conducted choice assays in field and lab settings, with ant-dispersed seeds and wasp-induced galls found in ant nests and found that seed ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Beyond a Technocentric Transition: A Diverse Economies Perspective for Social Justice in Circular Economy Business Models

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy, dominated by capitalocentric, technocentric, and eco‐modernist discourses, risks perpetuating systemic injustice because of its limited consideration of the social and of what is possible. In this article, we examine how social justice can be embedded into circular business models (CBMs)—key drivers of the circular ...

Regulation and Functions of Long Noncoding RNAs During Meloidogyne incognita Parasitism of Tomato

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of various aspects of immune response and plant-pathogen interactions. However, the regulatory function of lncRNAs during plant-nematode interaction remains largely elusive. In this study,
