Do cicadas have a choirmaster?
This year, for the first time since 1803, the two most extensive broods of periodic cicadas in Illinois will emerge together. We will delve into how these cicadas coordinate their emergence and discuss the evolutionary origins of this behavior. We will also show that the underlying phenomenon is not that different from what we see in other organisms, such as Canadian lynxes and oak trees. Lecture by Jorin T. Graham.
