Summary:
In this study, we present an experimentally faithful model for synchronous flashing of Southeast Asia fireflies. This model is based on the data of integrate-and-fire mechanism of the synchrony in firefly flashing, obtained in the field experiments by Hanson et. al. Through systematic simulations and analysis, we obtain some rigorous results and numerical observations on perfect synchrony and wave-like patterns in synchrony. This suggests that our model accounts for the coexistence of perfect synchrony and wave-like pattern observed in New Guinea.
