Understanding Firefly Synchronization
This chapter explores the initial beliefs and theories surrounding synchronous fireflies, highlighting the recent studies that have debunked these notions. It delves into the concept of coupling between fireflies and discusses how even a small amount of coupling can lead to emergency synchronization on a global scale. The chapter also examines the consistency of timing and patterns within a group of fireflies and the ongoing research to develop mathematical models for further explanation.
