Highlights•Long-term exposure to constant low temperatures (CLT) can lead to chill
injury.•Fluctuating thermal regimes (FTR) help to mitigate chill injury.•Recent advances have …

To adapt to and anticipate rhythmic changes in the environment such as daily light–dark and
temperature cycles, internal timekeeping mechanisms called biological clocks evolved in a …

Feeding behavior is essential for growth and survival of animals; however, relatively little is
known about its intrinsic mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate that Gart is expressed in the …

The relatively simple Drosophila circadian clock circuit consists of 150 clock neurons that
coordinate rhythmic behavior and physiology, which are generally classified based on …

Both the circadian clock and sex hormone signaling can strongly influence brain function,
yet little is known about how these 2 powerful modulatory systems might interact during …

Organisms track time of day through the function of cell-autonomous molecular clocks. In
addition to a central clock located in the brain, molecular clocks are present in most …

The circadian system coordinates multiple behavioral outputs to ensure proper temporal
organization. Timing information underlying circadian regulation of behavior depends on a …

Circadian rhythms are present in almost all cells and play a crucial role in regulating various
biological processes. Maintaining a stable circadian rhythm is essential for overall health …

Foraging and feeding are indispensable for survival and their timing depends not only on
the metabolic state of the animal but also on the availability of food resources in their …

A 24-h rhythm of feeding behavior, or synchronized feeding/fasting episodes during the day,
is crucial for survival. Internal clocks and light input regulate rhythmic behaviors, but how …
