- Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “Thus, one cannot justify Africa’s lower diversity based on poorer floristic knowledge alone even though new species and genera are described regularly and some areas remain to be botanically explored (Küper et al. 2006).”
- Patterns of vascular plant diversity at continental to global scales (2007, methodology): “Building upon species collection data derived from taxonomic revisions, herbarium specimens, or field collections, the BIOTA Information System on African Plant Diversity (BISAP) has been established and consolidated for the sub-Saharan Africa jointly with cooperation partners (LINDER 1998b; LOVETT ”

- Drivers of taxonomic bias in conservation research: a global analysis of terrestrial mammals (2020, background): “The importance of some of these systematic biases has been well studied in relation to the collection of biological samples, whose distribution is often highly correlated with the presence of roads or proximity to research centres (e.g. Reddy & D avalos, 2003; K€uper et al., 2006; Stropp et al., 201”
