• Global Centers of Vascular Plant Diversity (2005, background): “In Ecuador they contribute 30 % to the country’s flora, and 35 % of the endemic plants of Ecuador are epiphytes (JØRGENSEN and LEÓN-YÁNEZ 1999, VALENCIA et al. 2000, KÜPER et al. 2004).”
• Deficiency in African plant distribution data - missing pieces of the puzzle (2006, background): “Until very recently (Küper et al., 2004; Mittermeier et al., 2004), the poor data availability for the upper part of the Albertine Rift led to an underestimation of its biodiversity in major prioritization schemes (Myers et al.”

• Patterns of vascular plant diversity at continental to global scales (2007, methodology): “On regional to continental scales increasingly more data have become available for complementarity analyses on the basis of detailed species list, e.g., per 1° grid cells (Küper et al. 2004; Linder et al. 2005) or ecoregions (Krupnick & Kress 2003).”
• Global patterns of plant diversity and floristic knowledge (2005, background): “However, there are further important aspects of biodiversity, such as maximized floristic complementarity (Küper et al., 2004) or the diversity of biomes, lacking in that approach.”
• Rarity and abundance in a diverse African forest (2007, background): “plants and for animals (Lovett et al. 2000; Linder 2001; Küper et al. 2004; Rodrigues et al. 2004; Burgess et al. 2005).”
• The Diversity of Life in African Freshwaters: Under Water, Under Threat: An Analysis of the Status and Distribution of Freshwater Species throughout Mainland Africa (2011, background): “There are many studies from which we can extract information on terrestrial plant distribution patterns and vegetation types across Africa (e.g., White 1983; White 1993; Linder 2001; Kuper et al. 2004; Kier et al. 2005; Beentje et al. 1994).”
