• Adaptive geographical clines in the growth and defense of a native plant (2012, background): “Depending on how specialized the herbivores are, and thus whether alternative food plants are available, range-center populations may be subject to the greatest levels of attack (e.g., Garcia et al. 2000, Alexander et al. 2007).”
• Temperature dependence of the reproduction niche and its relevance for plant species distributions (2012, background): “Only a few studies have examined how reproductive success influences species distribution (e.g. Garcia et al., 2000; Jump & Woodward, 2003).”
• Severely reduced sexual reproduction in northern populations of a clonal plant, Decodonverticillatus (Lythraceae) (2001, background): “Sculthorpe 1967; Hutchinson 1975) but comparisons with central populations (e.g. Barrett 1980a; McKee & Richards 1996; García et al. 2000) or investigations of the ecological and genetic factors causing such variation (e.”
• Biological Flora of the British Isles: Juniperus communis L. (2007, background): “It is higher in the more northern and mountainous parts of Europe (García et al. 2000a) but declines towards its northern European limit and especially towards its southern limits in the mountains of the Mediterranean region (García et al. 2000b).”
• Spatiotemporal dynamics of recruitment in Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Miller) (2004, background): “Seed production (Herrera 1998; Herrera et al. 1998) and pre-dispersal seed loss (Ehrlen 1996; Garcia et al. 2000) typically exhibit considerable spa- tiotemporal variation among individual plants.”
• Effects of seed dispersal on Juniperus communis recruitment on a Mediterranean mountain (2001, methodology): “This method can be considered as a good estimation of seed predation by rodents, as the wood mouse eats seeds without removing them from their original place and depredated seeds are easily distinguishable by teeth marks (García 1998b; García et al. 2000b).”
• The performance of Polylepis australis trees along their entire altitudinal range: implications of climate change for their conservation (2008, result): “Our results are also in line with those of a comparative study on Juniperus communis reproduction along a latitudinal gradient, which revealed a reduction of seed productivity towards the outer distribution limits (García et al., 2000).”
• Is the notion that species interactions are stronger and more specialized in the tropics a zombie idea? (2016, background): “…for Tropical Biology and Conservation 141 BIOTROPICA 48(2): 141–145 2016 10.1111/btp.12281 frequent findings is no significant latitudinal gradient in the strength of biotic interactions (Garcia et al. 2000, Andrew & Hughes 2005, Sinclair & Hughes 2008, Adams et al. 2009, Studer et al. 2013).”
• Ecological and evolutionary consequences of spatial and temporal variation in pre-dispersal seed predation (2007, background): “On the other hand, the magnitude of pre-dispersal seed predation (and thereby its potential ecological and evolutionary effects) may also have been slightly underestimated for some species, namely in which the proportion of damaged seeds was expressed relative to the total number of seeds (including”
• Latitude, seed predation and seed mass (2003, background): “However, the only paper we are aware of that investigates this relationship is by Garcia et al. (2000), who found no correlation between predispersal seed predation and latitude across thirty-one populations of Juniperus communis at latitudes from 37 06¢ N to 68 13¢ N.”
