• Plant traits that predict resistance to herbivores (2011, background): “Functional Ecology 2010 British Ecological Society This herbivory can have cascading ecological and ecosystemlevel effects (Crawley 1983; Bardgett, Wardle & Yeates 1998; Wimp & Whitham 2001; Stark, Julkunen-Tiitto & Kumpula 2007).”
• APHIDS ALTER THE COMMUNITY‐WIDE IMPACT OF FIRE ANTS (2005, methodology): “Our results are consistent with previous reports of honeydew-producing hemipterans that act as facilitators of predaceous ants (Nickerson et al. 1977, Messina 1981, Ito and Higashi 1991, Floate and Whitham 1994, Wimp and Whitham 2001).”

• EXTRAFLORAL NECTAR AS A RESOURCE MEDIATING MULTISPECIES INTERACTIONS (2004, background): “In a similar example, honeydew-producing, ant-tended aphids (Chaitophorus populicola) reduced arthropod species richness and abundance on cottonwood trees compared to conspecific trees without the mutualism (Wimp and Whitham 2001).”
• INTERACTIONS AMONG FIRE, ASPEN, AND ELK AFFECT INSECT DIVERSITY: REVERSAL OF A COMMUNITY RESPONSE (2002, background): “…by visually censusing the entire ramet in each treatment category (i.e., high-severity burn zone/ unbrowsed, high-severity zone/browsed, intermediateseverity burn zone/unbrowsed, and intermediate-severity burn zone/browsed) to give a ramet-level estimate of diversity (Wimp and Whitham 2001).”
• To fight or not to fight: context-dependent interspecific aggression in competing ants (2009, background): “Clusters of P. angustifolia and backcross hybrid trees, which are superior for aphid tending by both ant species ( Wimp & Whitham 2001 ), are separated by large expanses (� 20 m between clusters) of trees not suitable for aphids.”

• COMMUNITY AND ECOSYSTEM GENETICS: A CONSEQUENCE OF THE EXTENDED PHENOTYPE (2003, background): “Because species interactions structure and define communities and ecosystems, the development of a community genetics perspective should help us to understand the natural world, its complex interactions, and the effects of anthropogenic change.”
• Prospects for Importation Biological Control of the Soybean Aphid: Anticipating Potential Costs and Benefits (2004, background): “In natural systems, the presence of ant/aphid mutualisms can have pervasive effects on community structure, including strong suppression of biodiversity ( Wimp and Whitham 2001 ).”
• Evolution of insect‐plant relationships: chemical constraints, coadaptation, and concordance of insect/plant traits (2002, background): “Furthermore, the community patterns of dozens of arthropod herbivores were shown to be significantly influenced by aphids, predatory ants, plant quality, and plant hybrids (Wimp & Whitham, 2001).”
• Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, unknown): “The importance of ants in defending plants was demonstrated in a field experiment in which ant and aphid removal resulted in a 76% increase in the abundance of other herbivores on narrow-leaf cottonwoods (Wimp and Whitham 2001) .”
• Relative importance of plant ontogeny, host genetic variation, and leaf age for a common herbivore (2003, background): “Few studies have examined how multiple factors act in concert to affect herbivores (e.g., Harrison and Cappuccino 1995, Wimp and Whitham 2001).”
• PLANT GENOTYPE AND ENVIRONMENT INTERACT TO SHAPE A DIVERSE ARTHROPOD COMMUNITY ON EVENING PRIMROSE (OENOTHERA BIENNIS) (2005, result): “Similar to our findings, arthropod richness and composition in diverse arthropod communities varies between hybrid types (Dungey et al. 2000, Wimp and Whitham 2001, Hoch-wender and Fritz 2004).”
