What human mathematicians must learn how to model is just a way of life for fireflies in Pennsylvania’s forests. A new study from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh shows that math borrowed ...
Stake out in Pennsylvania’s Cook State Forest at the right time of year and you can see one of nature’s great light shows: swarms of fireflies that synchronize their flashes like strings of Christmas ...
Some fireflies have a mystifying gift for flashing their abdomens in sync. New observations are overturning long-accepted explanations for how the synchronization occurs, at least for some species.

You have the chance to view what is called "a special and unique phenomenon" in South Carolina. Every year, Congaree National Park hosts synchronous fireflies for ...
A new study by mathematicians shows that math borrowed from neuroscience can describe how swarms of these unique insects coordinate their light show, capturing key details about how they behave in the ...
