Do urban areas act as foci for the spread of alien plant species? An assessment of temporal trends in the UK (2009, background): “…© 2008 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 339 canals (Wadsworth et al ., 2000; Truscott et al ., 2006) as well as roads (Hodkinson & Thompson, 1997; Arevalo et al ., 2005; Zwaenepoel et al ., 2006; Von der Lippe & Kowarik, 2007, 2008) are known to facilitate the spread of aliens over considerable distances.”
Small urban centres as launching sites for plant invasions in natural areas: insights from South Africa (2017, background): “Similarly, human movements within and out of urban spaces facilitate the dispersal of propagules to the surrounding natural areas, particularly seeds which can be transported an appreciable distance by cars (Zwaenepoel et al. 2006; von der Lippe and Kowarik 2008; von der Lippe et al. 2013).”
