• Small urban centres as launching sites for plant invasions in natural areas: insights from South Africa (2017, background): “This was expected given the wellestablished finding that alien species diversity is positively correlated with human population density (van Rensburg et al. 2009; Spear et al. 2013; Aronson et al. 2014a, b).”
• Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “The communities of urban exploiters are frequently characterized by a few prevailing and often alien species (e.g. van Rensburg et al. 2009), and by few native ones; furthermore, their diversity and abundance is usually not dependent upon natural vegetation (reviewed by McKinney 2006).”
