To accommodate daily recurring environmental changes, animals show cyclic variations in
behaviour and physiology, which include prominent behavioural states such as sleep–wake …

Humans, like all mammals, partition their daily behaviour into activity (wakefulness) and rest
(sleep) phases that differ largely in their metabolic requirements. The circadian clock …

Although the fates of microplastics (0.1–5 mm in size) and nanoplastics (< 100 nm) in marine
environments are being increasingly well studied,, little is known about the behaviour of …

The importance of circadian biology has rarely been considered in pre-clinical studies, and
even more when translating to the bedside. Circadian biology is becoming a critical factor for …

The number of studies on melatonin in plants has increased significantly in recent years.
This molecule, with a large set of functions in animals, has also shown great potential in …

Certain members of the gut microbiota exhibit diurnal variations in relative abundance and
function to serve as non-canonical drivers of host circadian rhythms and metabolism. Also …

Variability in the environment defines the structure and dynamics of all living systems, from
organisms to ecosystems. Species have evolved traits and strategies that allow them to …

The regular movements of waves and tides are obvious representations of the oceans'
rhythmicity. But the rhythms of marine life span across ecological niches and timescales …

Circadian clocks align behavioral and biochemical processes with the day/night cycle.
Nearly all vertebrate cells possess self-sustained clocks that couple endogenous rhythms …

Cellular life emerged∼ 3.7 billion years ago. With scant exception, terrestrial organisms
have evolved under predictable daily cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. The advantage …
