These are some people who have greatly contributed to the study of Oecanthinae. B. B. Fulton Bentley B. Fulton (1889-1960) I consider this article by Fulton as my tree cricket bible: The tree crickets of New York: Life histories and bionomics https://orthsoc.org/sina/s576lf15.pdf R. D. Alexander Richard D. Alexander (1929 – 2018 ) Dr. Alexander explored Mexico in the 1960’s, and encountered several unknown species of tree crickets which have yet to be described. Alexander and Otte thoroughly explored Australian Orthoptera from June 1968 to June 1969, and described four new species of Xabea tree crickets. D. Otte Daniel Otte Otte described 50 new species of tree crickets from Hawaiiand his books of Hawaii and Australian orthopterans provide detailed info on many tree crickets. He is the Founder of The Orthoptera Species File – the most extensive database for orthoptera available online: http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/HomePage/Orthoptera/HomePage.aspx T. J. Walker Thomas J. Walker Dr. Walker is my personal mentor, and a good friend. His guidance and encouragement resulted in all the work I have done on tree crickets, including co-describing nine new species, with two more pending publication. Walker’s Singing Insects of North America is my go-to site for research. His free-access links to publications are invaluable – particularly his papers for the different species groups found in continental US. His paper focusing on tree crickets south of the US is an excellent resource. https://orthsoc.org/sina/s576lw67.pdf R. Balakrishnan Rohini Balakrishnan Dr. Balakrishnan has published papers involving tree crickets, with a concentration on Indian species and their bioacoustic communication, ecology and behavior. One of her on-going research projects involves predator-prey interactions. N. Mhatre Natasha Mhatre Dr. Mhatre has researched several aspects of tree crickets, including: the making and use of baffles, bioacoustics, and the physiology of tympanal membranes and the male tegmina.
