However, the original spelling has been maintained throughout by taxonomic catalogues, and the rules of nomenclature support the priority of cassinii (Article 33.4). The correct spelling for the 13-year relative is tredecassini. Distribution File:Many cicadas 2004 hi.ogv Many Brood X periodical cicadas (Magicicada) The 17-year periodical cicadas are distributed across the eastern, upper midwestern, and Great Plains states within the U.S., while the 13-year cicadas occur in the southern and Mississippi Valley states, but some may overlap slightly. For example, Broods IV (17-year cycle) and XIX (13-year cycle) overlap in western Missouri and eastern Oklahoma. Their emergences should again coincide in 2219, 2440, 2661, etc., as they did in 1998 (although distributions change slightly from generation to generation and older distribution maps can be unreliable.). An effort is currently underway to generate new distribution maps of all periodical cicada broods. This effort makes use of crowdsourced records and records collected by entomologists. Evolution Not only are the periodical cicada lifecycles curious for their prime numbers 13 or 17, but also their evolution is intricately tied to one- and four-year changes in their lifecycles. One-year changes are less common than four-year changes and are probably tied to variation in local climatic conditions. Four-year early and late emergences are common and involve a much larger proportion of the population than one-year changes. Recent research suggests, in extant periodical cicadas, the 13- and 17-year lifecycles evolved at least eight different times in the last 4 million years and that different species with identical lifecycles developed their overlapping geographic distribution by synchronization of lifecycle to existing dominant populations. The same study estimates that the Decim species group split from the common ancestor of the Decula plus Cassini species groups around 4 million yea ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2020 06:32:52 -0400 From: "Ukrainian Live Show" Subject: Chat with 30,000 Russian and Ukrainian Beauties Chat with 30,000 Russian and Ukrainian Beauties http://strategys.bid/AS0ztLd2w-HT_QuTNjakTk_e9JHzGeL62weQfwTTTOYV-6Jw http://strategys.bid/bpKWn6Vyay2Xr6J4s6EwQnwBRtB62Hsa6AWnqpZgLKC8j4EQ es in cicada populations are significant enough to affect other animal and plant populations. For example, tree growth has been observed to decline the year before the emergence of a brood, because of the increased feeding on roots by nymphs. Moles, which feed on nymphs, have been observed to do well during the year before an emergence, but suffer population declines the following year, because of the reduced food source. Wild turkey populations respond favorably to increased nutrition in their food supply from gorging on cicada adults on the ground at the end of their lifecycles. Uneaten carcasses of periodic cicadas decompose on the ground, providing a resource pulse of nutrients to the forest community. Cicada broods may also have a negative impact. Eastern gray squirrel populations have been negatively affected, because the egg-laying activity of female cicadas damaged upcoming mast crops.[citation needed] Broods Mass of Magicicada (teneral adults and cast exoskeletons) on vegetation Magicicada septendecim female ovipositing Cicada nymph prior to final molt Newly molted brood XIII cicada An adult periodical cicada (Magicicada septendecim) from Brood X taken in 2004 in Princeton, NJ. Periodical cicadas are grouped into geographic broods based on the calendar year when they emerge. For example, in 2014, the 13-year brood XXII emerged in Louisiana and the 17-year brood III emerged in western Illinois and eastern Iowa. In 1898, entomologist C. L. Marlatt assigned Roman numerals to 30 different broods of periodical cicadas: 17 distinct broods with a 17-year lifecycle, to which he assigned brood numbers I through XVII (with emerging years 1893 through 1909); plus 13 broods with a 13-year cycle, to which he assigned brood numbers XVIII through XXX (1893 through 1905). Many of these hypothetical 30 broods, however, have not been observed. Furthermore, two of the brood numbers assigned by Marlatt (broods XI and XXI) existed at one time, but have become extinct. The Marlatt numbering scheme has been retained for convenience (and because it clearly separates 13- and 17-year lifecycles), although today only 15 broods are known to survi ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #4820 **********************************************
