Taxonomy and systematics of Indian cicadas (Hemiptera, Cicadidae)


I worked on a project focusing on the taxonomy and systematics of Indian cicadas. This collaborative work was undertaken with Dr. Krushnamegh Kunte from NCBS and Prof. Chris Simon from UConn. Further details about this project can be found on the Biodiversity Lab website.
