An augmented wood-penetrating structure: Cicada ovipositors enhanced with metals and other inorganic elements
Few insect species are as popular as periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.). Despite representing an enormous biomass and numbers that exceed 370/m(2) during mass emergences, the extended time period of the underground nymphal stages (up to 17 years) complicates investigations of their life history tr...
