Domenico Vandelli (1735-1816) was an Italian scientist. He obtained a PhD in medicine with his thesis 'Dissertationes Tres'. Linnaeus paid him tribute by naming the order Vandellia of the family Scrophulariaceae after him.

Charles Joseph de Villers (1724-1810) was a French naturalist in Lyon.

Thunberg was one of the most famous of Linnaeus's pupils. Numerous dissertations were defended by pupils of Thunberg, which were usually the work of Thunberg himself, and are often attributed to him. This work is a complete set of the dissertations on Hemiptera of South Africa.
