• A phylogenetic perspective on the distribution of plant diversity (2008, background): “(45) and David Ackerly (46), both building on the seminal work of Carlos Herrera (47).”
• Geographical context of floral evolution: towards an improved research programme in floral diversification (2006, background): “…to the appearance of Mediterranean climate conditions coexist with recent lineages evolved under current ecological conditions (e.g., Herrera 1992, Verdú et al. 2003), this limitation probably applies more importantly to phenotypic selection analyses of species that evolved before the appearance…”
• Leaf traits and resprouting ability in the Mediterranean basin (2006, background): “Tertiary resprouter species of the Mediterranean basin are traditionally used as example of sclerophyllous species (Herrera 1992; Verdú et al. 2003).”
• Evolution, origin and age of lineages in the Californian and Mediterranean floras (2009, methodology): “…that character syndromes observed in the Mediterranean were generally repeated across the three New World regions, although in the New World regions the NMDS scores do not form discrete clusters as clearly as they do in the Mediterranean (see data values in appendix to Verdú et al., 2003).”
• Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “Instead, its preexistence in a lineage seems to have facilitated such shifts (Ackerly 2004, Verdú et al. 2003, Jordan et al. 2005, Salvo et al. 2010).”
• Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, unknown): “The reasons for such convergence are, however, controversial (see Cody and Mooney, 1978; Herrera, 1992; Verdú et al., 2003; Joffre et al., 2007; Ackerly, 2009; Blondel et al., 2010 for discussion on alternative or complementary explanations for the functional similarities among Mediterranean taxa).”
• The challenge of plant regeneration after fire in the Mediterranean Basin: scientific gaps in our knowledge on plant strategies and evolution of traits (2007, background): “…taxa and showed that the drought resistance and the resprouting ability are old madro-tertiary traits and these species resisted as they turned out to be pre-adapted to the Mediterranean conditions (Axelrod, 1958; Herrera 1992; Lloret et al. 1999; Verdú et al. 2003; Verdaguer and Ojeda 2005).”
