Research:
Projects on the phylogeny and systematics of the Membracoidea (Hemiptera) and also the compilation of Internet accessible databases, including TREEHOPPERS, for retrieving information, images, and literature on treehoppers (Aetalionidae, Melizoderidae, and Membracidae), DrMETCALF, for retrieving pre-computer literature (1758-1955) on the auchenorrhynchous Hemiptera, and AgNIC: SYSTEMATIC ENTOMOLOGY, a general resource for insect systematics.
