Abstract
Researches the effects of urbanization on a tri-trophic interaction in the Florida scrub community. The species involved in the tri-trophic interaction were Palafoxia feayi, a gallmaking midge, and the associated parasitoid wasps. Urbanization affected plant architecture but only had a minor effect on the gallmaking midge and parasitoid wasp.Suggested Citation
