- The evolution of African plant diversity (2014, background): “…Flora was recognized as a distinct unit by White (as “Afromontane,” Chapman and White, 1970; White, 1978, 1981), regionalization studies based on species have failed to retrieve it (Linder et al., 2005, 2012b), possibly due to the high turnover in species composition between mountain blocks.”
- Protected areas network is not adequate to protect a critically endangered East Africa Chelonian: Modelling distribution of pancake tortoise, Malacochersus tornieri under current and future climates (2020, background): “Samples were obtained as part of the Protea Atlas Project (Rebelo 2002), an exhaustive survey of the Proteaceae family across the CFR ( 250 000 records over 90 000 km 2 ).”
- A framework for delineating biogeographical regions based on species distributions (2010, methodology): “Multivariate methods at the species level and higher spatial resolution have found greater use at regional to continental extents (e.g. Hagmeier & Stults, 1964; Nimis & Crovello, 1991; Williams et al., 1999; Unmack, 2001; de Klerk et al., 2002; Linder et al., 2005; Heikinheimo et al., 2007).”
- Biomes and bioregions of Southern Africa (2006, background): “In contrast to Low & Rebelo (1996, 1998), the criteria Rutherford & Westfall (1994) applied for a biome were explicit and derived from the globally applicable literature (e.”
- Patterns of vascular plant diversity at continental to global scales (2007, methodology): “This dataset is the result of a close co-operation with Jon Lovett, Peter Linder and many others (compare Küper et al. 2004; Burgess et al. in press; Linder et al. 2005).”
- The world's biogeographical regions: cluster analyses based on bat distributions (2005, background): “Several intuitive regionalizations have included provinces which were not contiguous [e.g. White’s (1983) ‘Afromontane’ – although recent analytical approaches do not confirm this as one valid biogeographical unit; see Linder et al., 2004, also Williams et al., 1999].”
- African spiny Solanum (subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae): a thorny phylogenetic tangle (2013, background): “The vegetation of Africa has been subdivided into a set of vegetation types based on the coincident distribution patterns of vascular plants (called phytochoria by White, 1983, 1993; Linder et al., 2005).”
- The partitioning of Africa: statistically defined biogeographical regions in sub‐Saharan Africa (2012, methodology): “The use of this study region is in keeping with many studies on biogeography (e.g. Chapin, 1923, 1932), speciation (e.g. Hall & Moreau, 1970) and conservation (Udvardy, 1975; Olson et al., 2001), for flora (Linder et al., 2005) as well as fauna (Burgess et al., 2002; de Klerk et al., 2002a).”
- Deficiency in African plant distribution data - missing pieces of the puzzle (2006, background): “1B) is high in the Cape, in areas of high topographic diversity along the east and southern Africa rifts, in Katanga, and in the west and central African tropical forests (for more details, see Lovett et al., 2000; Linder, 2001; Linder et al., 2005).”
