• The Zoophytophagous Predator Nesidiocoris tenuis: A Successful But Controversial Biocontrol Agent in Tomato Crops (2016, background): “According to Wheeler and Henry (1992), this species is of palaeotropical origin, but has been transported widely with goods; today it is almost cosmopolitan in its distribution (Fig.”
• Phylogenetic relationships within the Cimicomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera): a total‐evidence analysis (2009, methodology): “Molecular data were analysed using dynamic homology (Wheeler, 2001) with the direct optimization method (Wheeler, 1996, 2003) as implemented in the computer program POY4 (Beta build 2398; Varón et al., 2007).”
• TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATION TO ANT OMNIVORY IN PINE FORESTS (2005, background): “…beetles, larval Neuroptera [Dixon 1998], and five species of Miridae (Hemiptera) from three genera (Daerocoris, Pilophoris, Phytochoris) [Wheeler 2001]), (4) hunting spiders (Araneae; 15 species from five families), (5) hoppers (Homoptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha; 36 species, none…”
• Plant surface–bug interactions: Dicyphus errans stalking along trichomes (2007, background): “The attachment system of Dicyphus errans Morphological and behavioural differences in gripping smooth and pubescent plant surfaces have been previously shown in mirid bugs (Wheeler 2001).”
• Heteroptera as vectors of plant pathogens (2004, background): “Other workers in the former USSR and elsewhere have also reported potato disease transmission by lygus bugs (Wheeler 2001, and references therein).”
• Synthetic Herbivore-Induced Plant Volatiles as Field Attractants for Beneficial Insects (2003, background): “Miridae were considered to be beneÞcial arthropods in this study because most species (even L. hesperus) have at least some carnivorous behavior (Wheeler 2001).”
• Pollen as an alternative or supplementary food for the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus. (2010, background): “Nonetheless, Wheeler (2001) pointed out that pollinivory is not uncommon in predatory Miridae.”
