On the adaptive significance of circadian clocks for their owners
KM Vaze, VK Sharma - Chronobiology international, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Circadian rhythms are believed to be an evolutionary adaptation to daily environmental
cycles resulting from Earth's rotation about its axis. A trait evolved through a process of …

Circadian clocks: an overview on its adaptive significance
S Krittika, P Yadav - Biological Rhythm Research, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
The metabolic, physiological, and behavioral processes in most of the living organisms
exhibit an approximate 24-h rhythmic, self-sustained circadian (L. circa= about, dies= day) …

[HTML][HTML] NMR-based investigation of the Drosophila melanogaster metabolome under the influence of daily cycles of light and temperature
We utilized an NMR-based metabolomic approach to profile the metabolites in Drosophila
melanogaster that cycle with a daily rhythm. 1H 1D and 2D NMR experiments were …

Photoperiod is an important seasonal selection factor in Chironomus riparius (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Most organisms respond and can adapt to photoperiodic changes. This affects measurable
end points like developmental time, survival and fertility. For ectotherms like Chironomus …

Accuracy of fruit-fly eclosion rhythms evolves by strengthening circadian gating rather than developmental fine-tuning
V Varma, S Krishna, M Srivastava, VK Sharma… - Biology …, 2019 - journals.biologists.com
Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) eclose from their pupae mainly around dawn. The
timing of eclosion is thought to confer adaptive benefits to the organisms and thus shows …
