Frogs resolve computing issues

When male Japanese tree frogs sing at the same time, the females cannot differentiate between them in order to choose the best one.

This natural lyrical desynchronisation has inspired the development of computational algorithms which can be used to design wireless systems and analyse social networks such as Facebook or Twitter.
