• Prevalence of alien versus native species of woody plants in Berlin differs between habitats and at different scales. (2013, background): “Also species with other traits, such as animal dispersal, are over-represented in urban compared to rural floras (Knapp et al. 2008, 2010).”
• Documenting effects of urbanization on flora using herbarium records (2011, background): “Land use changes from agriculture to urban and human choice can be significant drivers of species turnover with urbanization (Knapp et al. 2010).”
• Successful invaders co-opt pollinators of native flora and accumulate insect pollinators with increasing residence time. (2011, unknown): “On a more recent time scale, important insights can be achieved by identification of historical data sets that can be used to infer the dynamics of forming plant–pollinator relationships over time by comparing the situation on a time scale of centuries (Memmot and Waser 2002, Knapp et al. 2010).”
• Biotic homogenization at the community scale: disentangling the roles of urbanization and plant invasion (2013, background): “First, intensive urban land use associated with habitat fragmentation (Bierwagen, 2007; Schleicher et al., 2011) and changes in ecosystem functioning (Alberti, 2005) leads to a decline in native habitat specialists (Chocholou skov a & Py sek, 2003; Knapp et al., 2010; Duncan et al., 2011).”
• Biodiversity, phenology and temporal niche differences between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands (2011, background): “Most exotic plant species were intentionally introduced as ornamentals, for forage and erosion control, or as food plants (Mack and Lonsdale, 2001; Grace et al., 2001; Weber, 2003; Knapp et al., 2010).”
