Mammals synchronize their circadian activity primarily to the cycles of light and darkness in
the environment. This is achieved by ocular photoreception relaying signals to the …

In tree species native to temperate and boreal regions, the activity‐dormancy cycle is an
important adaptive trait both for survival and growth. We discuss recent research on …

Environmental temperature cycles are a universal entraining cue for all circadian systems at
the organismal level with the exception of homeothermic vertebrates. We report here that …

The earth rotates on its axis every 24 h, with the result that any position on the earth's
surface alternately faces toward or away from the sun—day and night. That the metabolism …

This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that
has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979. The recent …

Circadian rhythms influence most of our life activities, notably getting up and going to sleep
every day. The new edition of this book delves into the mechanisms surrounding how these …

Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology and
behavior. Synchronization of these timers to environmental light–dark cycles ('entrainment') …

While light is considered the dominant stimulus for entraining (synchronizing) mammalian
circadian rhythms to local environmental time, social stimuli are also widely cited as …

Plants can show remarkable responses to small changes in temperature, yet one of the
great unknowns in plant science is how that temperature signal is perceived. The identity of …

The circadian clock synchronizes biological processes to daily cycles of light and
temperature. Clock components, including CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1), are …
