How species traits and affinity to urban land use control large‐scale species frequency (2009, methodology): “…r for the correlation of species’ occurrence probability per grid cell (estimated from the species models; ranging from 0 to 1) and the intensity of urban land use per grid cell, according to the percentage of Corine artificial land-use types (for a similar approach see Thompson & McCarthy, 2008).”
Understanding biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships in urban areas: A comprehensive literature review (2017, background): “This is noteworthy as plant leaf traits may simultaneously respond to urban environmental conditions (e.g. Knapp et al. 2008; Thompson & McCarthy 2008) and affect UES (e.g. Manes et al. 2012).”
Plant species composition in green spaces within the built-up areas of Beijing, China (2010, background): “Identifying plant traits that are favored or lost through urbanization provides a basis for identifying species and habitats likely to be of conservation concern, or conversely plants that maybe naturalized in urban areas (Thompson and McCarthy 2008; Williams et al. 2009).”
Documenting effects of urbanization on flora using herbarium records (2011, background): “In the coming decades, most people’s contact with nature will be in urban settings (Thompson & McCarthy 2008).”
