Abstract in brief
The study develops a stereoscopic 360-degree camera setup to track and reconstruct the 3D flashing behavior of fireflies in natural and controlled environments, providing valuable data to validate models of collective synchronization.
The findings show that firefly flashes become synchronized even with a small group, with larger groups (more than 15 males) displaying periodic flash bursts and long-range interactions spanning several meters.
The research also uncovers individual behavioral differences, such as early flashers being more mobile and flashing longer, suggesting a mix of cooperative and competitive interactions within firefly swarms.]

Recent beautiful work from @oritpeleg shows that a single firefly (in some species) is not an oscillator!
Single fireflies flash randomly with a broad interval distribution.
