For my dissertation research I am using the metacommunity framework (in which a group of local communities is linked by the dispersal of interacting species) to understand spatial variation in herbivore impacts on and demographic impacts to plant populations, with an emphasis on a &#8220;metacommunity module&#8221; of a few host plant species (native Florida prickly pear cacti [<i>Opuntia<\/i> species]) interacting with a few herbivore species, including the invasive South American <i>Cactoblastis cactorum<\/i>.\u00a0 I am exploring how these interactions among species scale from local settings to regional assemblages, both in basic ecology and in applied contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<menu id=\"fcltHTML5Menu1\" type=\"context\"><\/menu>\n\n\n\n<menu id=\"fcltHTML5Menu1\" type=\"context\"><\/menu>\n\n\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":538,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"featured_post":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-832","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/538"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=832"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1357,"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/832\/revisions\/1357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.clas.ufl.edu\/rdholt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
