Response of an Apex Mammalian Predator to an Emergence of 13-Year Periodical Cicadas. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Emergences of periodical cicadas constitute intense, short-duration resource pulses that can produce significant functional and numerical responses among insectivorous species that prey on them. The response of coyotes, apex predators in Illinois USA, to

Antennal Sensilla Diversity in Some North American Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae). [PDF]
InsectsThe use of acoustic communication and the relatively small antennae possessed by cicadas has led to the suggestion that antennal functions, specifically olfaction, are poorly developed in cicadas.

Multielement Composition Analysis of Cicada as an Edible Insect and Dietary Risk Assessment. [PDF]
ToxicsCicadas are a traditional food in China. In this study, we performed multielement analysis on cicadas using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). In total, 40 cicada samples were collected in Hebei Province (China). Comparing the results

Age-Related Plasticity Integration in Male Cicadas Tettigetta isshikii: Are Adult Cicadas Capital Breeders? [PDF]
Ecol EvolLabile traits, such as behavioural, physiological traits or body mass, vary within an individual either over time or across environments. Such changes within an individual can be linked across traits, forming within‐individual trait correlations.

Predation-driven geographical isolation of broods in periodical cicadas. [PDF]
Sci RepPeriodical cicadas are remarkable for their incredibly long, prime-numbered life cycles and almost perfectly synchronized mass emergence. Synchronized emergence is a generally localized event, referred to as a “brood”.

Investigation of Cicada Density in Urban Park [PDF]
Geo Data, 2023 In this study, we investigated the occurrence patterns and densities of cicadas in 18 urban parks in Seoul, Korea. Considering the ecological characteristics of cicadas that occured only in summer, the temporal changes of cicadas were investigated every ...

PLoS ONE, 2021 Cicadas tend to be affected by vicariance reflecting poor mobility of nymphs underground and weak flying ability of adults. However, modern collection records of invasive cicada, combined with records of typhoon tracks, and newly obtained phylogeographic

#SideHustle: Jason G. H. Londt’s contribution to holdings of the South African Cicadidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) in the KwaZulu-Natal Museum [PDF]
African Invertebrates, 2023 Jason G.H. Londt contributed almost a quarter of the KwaZulu-Natal Museum’s specimens of Cicadidae, including a strong sample of females, and probably the best set to date of African records of predation on cicadas by robber flies.

The circadian calling activity of a lebinthine cricket with high-frequency calls is unaffected by cicada choruses in the day [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Many factors can influence circadian rhythms in animals. For acoustically communicating species, both abiotic cues (such as light and temperature) and biotic cues (such as the activity of other animals), can influence the timing of signalling ...
