摘要
Systems of oscillators often converge to a state of synchrony when sufficiently interconnected. Twenty years ago, the 數學 analysis of models of coupled oscillators revealed the possibility for complex phases that exhibit a coexistence of synchronous and asynchronous clusters, known as "chimera states." Beyond their recurrence in theoretical models, chimeras have been observed under specifically designed experimental conditions, yet their 湧現 in nature has remained elusive. Here, we report evidence for the occurrence of chimeras in a celebrated realization of natural synchrony: fireflies. In video recordings of Photuris frontalis fireflies, we observe, within a single 群集, the spontaneous 湧現 of different groups flashing with the same periodicity but with a constant delay between them. From the
