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 ...

Keeping Pace or Falling Behind? The Depth of Latin American Trade Agreements
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines whether Latin American countries are keeping pace with global trends in trade agreement depth or falling behind. Using 681 agreements (1970–2019), we develop the Depth Index of Trade Agreements (DITA) to weight provisions endogenously through factor analysis based on co‐occurrence patterns.
