Summary

How does habitat size affect plant populations? What happens to plants and insects when two smaller habitats are connected by a habitat corridor? These are the kinds of questions Dr. Julian Resasco likes to ask. Join us for a discussion about the dynamics of habitat fragmentation. This episode was produced in part by Jamie, Brent, Tanner, Rick, Kazys, Dorothy, Katherine, Emily, Theo, Nichole, Paul, Karen, Randi, Caelan, Tom, Don, Susan, Corbin, Keena, Robin, Peter, Whitney, Kenned, Margaret, Daniel, Karen, David, Earl, Jocelyn, Gary, Krysta, Elizabeth, Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts, Pattypollinators, Peter, Judson, Ella, Alex, Dan, Pamela, Peter, Andrea, Nathan, Karyn, Michelle, Jillian, Chellie, Linda, Laura, Miz Holly, Christie, Carlos, Paleo Fern, Levi, Sylvia, Lanny, Ben, Lily, Craig, Sarah, Lor, Monika, Brandon, Jeremy, Suzanne, Kristina, Christine, Silas, Michael, Aristia, Felicidad, Lauren, Danielle, Allie, Jeffrey, Amanda, Tommy, Marcel, C Leigh, Karma, Shelby, Christopher, Alvin, Arek, Chellie, Dani, Paul, Dani, Tara, Elly, Colleen, Natalie, Nathan, Ario, Laura, Cari, Margaret, Mary, Connor, Nathan, Jan, Jerome, Brian, Azomonas, Ellie, University Greens, Joseph, Melody, Patricia, Matthew, Garrett, John, Ashley, Cathrine, Melvin, OrangeJulian, Porter, Jules, Griff, Joan, Megan, Marabeth, Les, Ali, Southside Plants, Keiko, Robert, Bryce, Wilma, Amanda, Helen, Mikey, Michelle, German, Joerg, Cathy, Tate, Steve, Kae, Carole, Mr. Keith Santner, Lynn, Aaron, Sara, Kenned, Brett, Jocelyn, Ethan, Sheryl, Runaway Goldfish, Ryan, Chris, Alana, Rachel, Joanna, Lori, Paul, Griff, Matthew, Bobby, Vaibhav, Steven, Joseph, Brandon, Liam, Hall, Jared, Brandon, Christina, Carly, Kazys, Stephen, Katherine, Mohsin Kazmi Takes Pictures, Manny, doeg, Daniel, Tim, Philip, Tim, Lisa, Brodie, Bendix, Irene, holly, Sara, and Margie.

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to the indefensea plants podcast, the official podcast of indefenseaplants.com.
0:05.3	What's up? This is your host Matt. Welcome to the show. How is everyone doing this week?
0:09.2	Today we are taking a dive into a very complex world that involves habitat fragmentation, corridors,
0:15.2	and plant pollinator interactions and how they might change with disturbance,
0:19.4	a climate change, and every other thing humanity can throw at them.
0:23.3	This may seem like it's going to be a really big doom and gloom kind of conversation,
0:26.8	but I assure you there are many reasons for hope. And joining us to talk about this is Dr. Julian
0:32.0	Rosasco, who has spent time in a variety of habitats trying to understand complex ecological dynamics
0:38.3	in a way that makes sense so that we can actually use these data to make conservation actions more
0:43.5	tangible, more real, and more successful. I don't want to steal any of this thunder, but before we
0:48.8	get into that conversation, I just want to say this podcast can't exist without support. There's
0:53.3	a lot of great ways to chip in some support, and one of the best is to become a patron over at
0:58.4	patreon.com slash indefenseaplants. There's a lot of great kickbacks for supporting the show with
1:03.1	a little financial contribution each month, but I literally couldn't be doing this without my patrons,
1:07.2	so thank you to everyone who has kicked in a little bit of financial support thus far.
1:11.4	Once again, that's patreon.com slash indefenseaplants. Consider supporting the show today.
1:16.4	But that is entirely enough out of me. Let's just jump right into it without further ado. Here's
1:20.5	my conversation, Dr. Julian Rosasco. I hope you enjoy.
1:37.5	All right, Dr. Julian Rosasco, welcome to the podcast. I'm really excited to talk to you today,
1:42.3	but let's start off with an introduction. Tell everyone a little bit about who you are and what it is
1:46.2	you do. Sure, yeah. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder in the
1:53.2	Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The kind of work that we do in our lab is we're
