The environment which living organisms inhabit is not constant and many factors, such as
light, temperature, and food availability, display cyclic and predictable variations. To adapt to …

Part of the life cycle of several fish species includes important salinity changes, as is the
case for the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) or the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Salmo …

Water temperature is an environmental factor of primary importance that influences

The patterning of social acoustic signaling at multiple timescales, from day-night rhythms to
acoustic temporal properties, enhances sender-receiver coupling and reproductive success …

Among the RFamide peptide family, the LPXRFamide peptide (LPXRFa) group regulates the
release of various pituitary hormones and, recently, LPXRFa genes were found to be …

The waxing and waning cycle of the moon is repeated at approximately 1-month intervals,
and concomitant changes occur in the levels of moonlight and cueing signals detected by …

The hormone melatonin connects environmental cues, such as photoperiod and
