• Relationships of Natural Enemies and Non-prey Foods (2009, background): “It has recently been reported that consumption of plant-derived water facilitates prey feeding in Dicyphus hesperus (Gillespie and McGregor, 2000; Sinia et al., 2004).”
• Plant preference in relation to life history traits in the zoophytophagous predator Dicyphus hesperus (2004, background): “These differences in performance when prey was or was not provided indicate that the nutrition from E. kuehniella eggs greatly exceeded the contribution from plant feeding, which may represent a source of water and a complement to the diet (Gillespie & McGregor, 2000).”
• Predation by Nesidiocoris tenuis on Bemisia tabaci and injury to tomato (2009, background): “Gillespie and McGregor (2000) proposed three simple models for feeding behaviour in omnivorous Heteroptera: (1) the amount of plant feeding decreases with increased prey feeding, (2) the amount of plant feeding increases with increased prey feeding and (3) the amount of plant feeding is independent…”
• Zoophytophagy in the plantbug Nesidiocoris tenuis (2008, background): “Gillespie and McGregor (2000) concluded that plant feeding © 2008 The Author Journal compilation © 2008 The Royal Entomological Society, Agricultural and Forest Entomology, 10, 75–80 in D. hesperus mainly served as water acquisition and was arguably an alternative to prey consumption.”
• Pollen as an alternative or supplementary food for the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus. (2010, background): “Gillespie and McGregor (2000) showed that Dicyphus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) had better fitness on prey and tomato leaves than on prey and a supplementary source of free water.”
