 Periodical Cicada - Penn State Entomology Department Fact Sheet
The numbering of the 17-year broods began with the 1893 brood which was designated as Brood I. In 1909, Brood XVII appeared, and in 1910, Brood I appeared again.
In Pennsylvania separate populations referred to as broods are present during eight different years in different geographic ranges in the state (Table 1).
Brood X, known as the "great eastern brood," is a large brood with heavy concentrations found in the eastern half of the state from late May through June during the years they emerge.

 Mallard Brood Survival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Brood survival is one of the most critical but least understood components of mallard production.
Total brood loss was 11 times more likely when broods were located where less than 17% of the seasonal basins contained water than where greater than 59% of seasonal basins were wet.
Total brood loss was 5 times more likely during rainy conditions than during dry periods, and the risk of total brood loss increased by 5% for each 1-day delay in hatching between 17 May and 12 August.

 Largest Parasitoid Brood
A parasitoid brood consists of the individuals that hatch from a single egg or clutch of eggs laid by one parasitoid in a single host.
Females produce female or male broods by laying one egg per host (male or female), and mixed broods by laying two eggs (always one male and one female) (Strand 1989; Ode and Strand 1995).
The 2,941 brood was both male and female and thus arose from one male and one female egg (Strand, pers.

 Determining Developmental Time of T. solenopsae Infected Brood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
After introducing brood into a colony, there was no way of telling whether brood collected was new brood laid by the queen, and possibly infected by transmission, or old introduced brood that developed more slowly because it was infected.
If infected brood develops at a rate comparable to the uninfected brood, after a set period of time all the introduced brood will have developed into workers and only newly laid brood will be left.
The average duration (measured from the point when 50% of the brood was at a given stage until 50% was at the next stage) of the developmental stages for the controls* are as follows: egg- 8.6 days; first instar- 2.4 days; second instar- 4.0 days; third instar- 2.7 days; fourth instar- 6.0 days.

 C. Simon: The Periodical Cicada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The ranges of all broods are shrinking so that the overlap may have been greater in the past, but it is also possible that overlap was less in the past and that the cases I have found are the result of invasion of 17-year territory by 13-year cicadas (Lloyd, et al.
Broods of periodical cicadas within a given life cycle never emerge in the same year by definition, however, isolation of broods within a life cycle is imperfect for the four broods that overlap geographically with at least one other.
They suggest that these major broods could have been derived from one another by a four-year shortening of the life cycle, which they suggest could be the result of the temporary deletion of a postulated supernumerary 6th instar.

The Brood are a race of large insect-like (except for their heads, which have side-set eyes and jaws with rows of razor-sharp teeth) aliens that seek out genetically superior lifeforms to use as hosts for their eggs.
The Brood were defeated by the X-Men, but returned to take the mutants hostage and implant each of them with an embryo.
The X-Men next came into contact with the Brood when Belladonna brought Gambit and the X-Men to New Orleans, where the Brood had captured the children of the Assassins' Guild and were going to use them as hosts.

 APIS--Volume 17, Number 8, August  1999
A too-early commencement of brood in spring causes a reactivation of the winter bee food gland and forces an increase in muscular activity to maintain the necessary brood nest temperature.
Brood rearing only begins in earnest when the weather begins to be warm for lengthy periods.
Because of the greater attraction of drone brood for Varroa and the simultaneously low availability of worker brood, a large number of mites can be trapped in drone comb and removed from the colony very early in the season.

The Brood are a Matriarchal Society, with the Empress as head, and Queens of various rank ruling in her name over their own Brood Nests.
Even if a Brood host is male that doesn't mean that the Brood itself is, Harry Palmer, for instance, was a human male, but the Brood within him was a female, a Queen, so he was referred to as a Brood Queen.
In fact, the Brood at least have good reason, the survival of their race depends upon conquering others, making them Brood, it is instinct, not greed or hate, that drive the Brood.

He hopes to be around to observe whether the eggs hatched in 2000 will stick to their new timetable and emerge in 2017--thus establishing a new brood--instead of reverting to the normal Brood X year, 2021.

The queen lays eggs in the brood cells of the beeswax, and the eggs mature into larvae, then pupae, and finally emerge as adult bees.

The bugs belong to the largest group, or brood, of periodical cicadas—insects that spend most of their lives as nymphs, burrowed underground and sucking sap from tree roots.
There are 12 broods, or year classes, among the 17-year cicadas and three broods of 13-year cicadas—so that in almost any given year it is possible to find adult periodical cicadas somewhere in the U.S. Every year periodical cicadas will emerge somewhere in the eastern U.S. Some states have several broods in different locations.

 UNL Extension Entomology - Bee Tidings, April 1996
When drone brood is present more than 70% of the mites in a colony can be found in drone brood cells.
Because many mites are in brood cells during the summer, the number of mites detected using this method will vary greatly depending on the brood rearing status of the colony.
As the amount of brood rearing in the colony declines, emerging varroa mites have nowhere to go except into the reduced cycle of brood in the late summer colony.

Brood X's population is densest in southern Indiana, Kentucky and southwestern Ohio, but it has pockets in Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, New Jersey, Missouri, northern Georgia, New York (Long Island), eastern Pennsylvania (including Philadelphia) and the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
Scientists expect Brood X cicadas to crawl out of the ground and begin the reproductive segment of their life cycle when soil temperatures reach 62 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Given that Brood X is not going to emerge for another 17 years, this opportunity represents a once-in-a-researcher's-lifetime opportunity to study the impacts of such an event," said Michael Bowers, program director in NSF's division of environmental biology, which funded the research.

Herman Brood (pronounced "Brode" /bro:d/; Zwolle, November 5, 1946 – Amsterdam, July 11, 2001) was a Dutch musician, painter and media personality.
After playing piano in Cuby and the Blizzards and several other bands since 1964, Brood started his own group, Hermand Brood and His Wild Romance, in 1977.
But even more than his music, it was his frank statements in the press about sex and drug use that made Herman Brood famous in the Netherlands.
