Interactions between growth, demography and biotic interactions in determining species range limits in a warming world: the case of Pinus sylvestris (2012, background): “This has resulted in a reduction of the growth and reproductive capacity of defoliated pines by 50% (Hódar et al., 2003, 2004), which is likely to have serious negative consequences for these southernmost populations, given their already strongly climatically limited growth and reproduction that…”
Plant Phenology And Distribution In Relation To Recent Climate Change (2008, background): “These have been declining as herbivory by the caterpillar Thaumetopoea pityocampa has increased, apparently in response to climate change (Hódar et al. 2003).”

The silent extinction: climate change and the potential hybridization-mediated extinction of endemic high-mountain plants (2015, background): “For example, herbivorous insects will move uphill in the Sierra Nevada as climate warms, feeding on relict plants (Hódar et al. 2003).”

Conserving biodiversity under climate change: the rear edge matters. (2005, background): “In contrast, increasing winter temperatures appear to depress reproductive success in southern peripheral populations of Pinus sylvestris L., as they favour outbreaks of the pine processionary caterpillar, Thaumetopoea pityocampa Schiff (Hódar et al. 2003).”
An elevational shift in butterfly species richness and composition accompanying recent climate change (2007, background): “…effects on montane ecological communities in southern Europe associated with climate change, as shown by recent outbreaks of the Pine processionary moth (Hódar et al., 2003; Battisti et al., 2006), and the fungal disease chytridiomycosis affecting amphibian populations (Bosch et al., 2006).”
