• Only$a$subset$of$the$naTve$cacT$in$Florida$are$aNacked$regularly$by$the$invasive$moth$
• The$invasive$moth$is$rare,$even$on$its$more$common$host$species$

Future$Work$
• How$much$variaTon$in$vital$rates$(growth,$recruitment,$reproducTon,$and$survival)$is$explained$by$the$presence$of$specialist$herbivores$and$co\occurring$host$plant$species?$
• Does$this$translate$into$spaTal$variaTon$in$populaTon$growth$rates?$$
