Summary
| Description |
English: Number line visualising why 13-year periodical cicadas' life cycles are better than non-prime life cycles such as 12-year life cycles. If predators have life cycles of 3 or 4 years, they will quickly synchronise with 12-year life cycles (after just 3/4 cycles), but will take 39 and 52 years respectively to synchronise with a 13-year life cycle. |
