aThe number of GB for SINA decreased from 16 Jan 2019 to 29 Nov 2019 because oversized images were reduced and orphaned and redundant files were starting to be removed. (TMC 2020)
bThe total number of files for SINA decreased from 29 Nov 2019 to 1 Jun 2020 because, in preparation for moving SINA from the University of Florida's web server to the Orthopterists' Society's web server, a concentrated effort was made to remove redundant and orphaned files. This also explains the decrease in the number of htm, jpg, and gif files. (TMC 2020)
cThe number of gif files for SINA decreased from 16 Jan 2019 to 1 Jun 2020 because numerous gif files were resampled to improve the quality of the images and were saved as jpg files. (TMC 2020)
d The number of other files increased dramatically from 1 October 2014 to 16 Jan 2019 because the wav files were duplicated as mp3 and ogg files, to accomodate all web browsers that might be used to browse SINA. The increase from 29 Nov 2019 to 1 Jun 2020 was from the mp3 and ogg files that were created for songs that were mostly provided by Weissman and Gray (2019). (TMC 2020)
27 Sep 2000. SINA construction begins at http://buzz.ifas.ufl.edu. Site not publicized and no linking to it allowed.
10 Apr 2001. Content of SINA reaches a level that justifies going public and allowing links. Gryllotalpidae (mole crickets) and Copiphorinae (cone-headed katydids) serve as examples of what is planned for other groups.
23 Apr 2001. SINA becomes too large to conveniently edit its files on the Web. Therefore, the online version is frozen and a local version established to facilitate further improvements.
18 Jul 2001. The online version of SINA is updated, and the update is publicized. SINA now has distribution maps for the 123 species of crickets and 240 species of katydids known from North America. It includes pictorial keysa to most genera of crickets and katydids and lists of major references for families, subfamilies and, in a few cases, genera. Some 150 of the references, including many that are old and hard to find, are posted in full text as PDF files.
1 Oct 2014. SINA now has distribution maps for the 131 species of crickets and 244 species of katydids known from North America. Its Union list of cricket and katydid references has 640 entries, 292 of which link to PDF files of the full text. Many of the entries that are complemented by PDF files are for old and hard-to-find works.b
Aug 2019. New section dealing with the Ensifera in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods added. Of importance to those interested in the songs of crickets and katydids, it provides easy online access to ca. 6400 cuts from the Walker Tape Library that were digitized and archived by Cornell’s Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds.
15 May 2020. Contents of the 2019 monograph of U.S. Gryllus spp. (Weissman and Gray 2019) made conveniently accessible. This involved adding new SINA species pages and map pages for their 17 new species and enhancing those pages for the 18 species that they validated.c
aThe higher taxonomic categories of crickets and katydids have changed since 2001. Other improvements to SINA’s content and organization have been given priority over updating the pictorial keys (TJW 2020).
bThe Union list of cricket and katydid references now has 665 entries and 337 of those entries are linked to a pdf file of the referenced material (TMC 2020).
cG. alogus was synonymized under G. vocalis by Weissman and Gray (2019) and was therefore removed from SINA's Checklist of Crickets North of Mexico; however, G. alogus remains in the tblspecies file. (TMC 2020).
