• Urbanization and homogenization – Comparing the floras of urban and rural areas in Germany (2006, background): “ Hill et al. (2002) termed species that are more frequent within urbanized areas than elsewhere were ‘‘urban specialists’’.”
• Novel urban ecosystems, biodiversity, and conservation. (2011, background): “Urban land use in general and other parameters such as cover of impervious surfaces, distance to city center, human population size, and density are positively related to the abundance of introduced species (Py sek, 1998; Roy et al., 1999; Hill et al., 2002; CelestiGrapow et al., 2006; Wania et al.,”
• Traits of British alien and native urban plants (2008, methodology): “Journal compilation © 2008 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 96 , 853–859 of samples of vegetation along an urban–rural gradient (Hill et al. 2002; McDonnell et al. 1993).”
• The flora of German cities is naturally species rich (2004, background): “This distinction is established in Central European botanical research (e.g. Schroeder, 1969; Sykora, 1990; Pyšek, 1998; Hill et al., 2002; Pyšek et al., 2003), as both groups of aliens differ markedly (e.g. Pyšek et al., 2002a,b), for example in ecology (the first are mainly species of arable…”
• An index of naturalness (2004, background): “Most plants in the flora of Berlin, for instance, have a hemeroby value assigned (Kovarich in Lindacher, 1995), but such values, for instance, do not apply well to Britain (see Hill et al., 2002).”
• Plant functional group composition and large-scale species richness in European agricultural landscapes (2008, background): “Several simple classifications of species into broad response groups have been proposed, such as habitat generalists or matrix species vs habitat specialists, weeds or ruderals vs species of conservation value and hemeroby classes of species (Cook et al. 2002; Brentrup et al. 2002; Dupré & Ehrlén 20”
• Do Exotics Homogenize or Differentiate Communities? Roles of Sampling and Exotic Species Richness (2004, background): “This proportion has sometimes been suggested as an index of human disturbance because the ratio of exotic species richness to native species richness tends to increase as anthropogenic disturbance increases (Hill et al. 2002).”
• Patterns of plant traits in annual vegetation of man-made habitats in central Europe (2006, result): “In the present paper, large data sets of vegetation plots and plant traits are combined to assess the differences in plant traits between the two major types of man-made habitats in central Europe.”

• Human Agency in Biological Invasions: Secondary Releases Foster Naturalisation and Population Expansion of Alien Plant Species (2003, background): “The role of habitat transformations in enhancing alien species was confirmed early by studies on the post-war flora of bombed European cities (Lousley 1953; Scholz 1960) and, later, of urban habitats and rural–urban gradients (Sukopp et al. 1990; Kowarik 1995a; McDonnell and Pickett 1990; Pyšek et a”
• Diversity of Central European urban biota: effects of human‐made habitat types on plants and land snails (2011, background): “The sessile nature of plants and low mobility of snails make both groups good environmental indicators because of their tight dependence on local site conditions (e.g. Ložek, 1964; Hill et al., 2002; Juřičková et al., 2008).”
• OCBIL theory: towards an integrated understanding of the evolution, ecology and conservation of biodiversity on old, climatically buffered, infertile landscapes (2009, background): “Being a generalist in terms of nutrition (especially in nitrogen-limited soils—Clark and Tilman 2008) and other biological attributes helps in occupying YODFELs, as does tolerance of ecological disturbance by humans (Lambers et al. 1998; Hill et al. 2002).”
