Most processes within organisms, and most interactions between organisms and their
environment, have distinct time profiles. The temporal coordination of such processes is …

Starting with the beginning of the last century, a multitude of scientific studies has
documented that the lunar cycle times behaviors and physiology in many organisms. It is …

In extreme high-latitude marine environments that are without solar illumination in winter,
light-mediated patterns of biological migration have historically been considered non …

Organisms have evolved to cope with geophysical cycles of different period lengths. In this
review, we focus on the adaptations of animals to the lunar cycle, specifically, on the …

Summary Background Tidal (12.4 hr) cycles of behavior and physiology adapt intertidal
organisms to temporally complex coastal environments, yet their underlying mechanism is …

Post-translational control of PERIOD stability by Casein Kinase 1δ and ε (CK1) plays a key
regulatory role in metazoan circadian rhythms. Despite the deep evolutionary conservation …

Organisms use endogenous clocks to anticipate regular environmental cycles, such as days
and tides. Natural variants resulting in differently timed behaviour or physiology, known as …

Melatonin, the" hormone of darkness," is a key regulator of vertebrate circadian physiology
and behavior. Despite its ubiquitous presence in Metazoa, the function of melatonin …

Biological rhythms are a fundamental property of life. The deep ocean covers 66% of our
planet surface and is one of the largest biomes. The deep sea has long been considered as …

The increasing illumination of our world by artificial light at night (ALAN) has created a new
field of global change research with impacts now being demonstrated across taxa, biological …
