Jean-Frédéric Émile Oustalet (August 24, 1844 – October 23, 1905 Saint-Cast) was a French zoologist.[1]
Oustalet was born at Montbéliard, in the department of Doubs. He studied at the Ecole des Hautes-Etudes and his first scientific work was on the respiratory organs of dragonfly larvae. He was employed at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, where he succeeded Jules Verreaux as assistant-naturalist in 1873. In 1900 he succeeded Alphonse Milne-Edwards as Professor of Mammalogy.[1]
He co-authored Les Oiseaux de la Chine (1877) with Armand David, and also wrote Les Oiseaux du Cambodge (1899).[1]
Oustalet was president of the third International Ornithological Congress held in Paris in 1900.
