A majority of mammalian genes exhibit daily fluctuations in expression levels, making
circadian expression rhythms the largest known regulatory network in normal physiology …

Mammals in drylands are facing not only increasing heat loads but also reduced water and
food availability as a result of climate change. Insufficient water results in suppression of …

Considerable research is aimed at develo** predictions of ecosystem responses to
climate change, focusing on the spatial scale, such as range shifts and contractions, as well …

Daily interactions between the hypothalamic circadian clock at the suprachiasmatic nucleus
(SCN) and peripheral circadian oscillators regulate physiology and metabolism to set …

Light provides the primary signal for entraining circadian rhythms to the day/night cycle. In
addition to rods and cones, the retina contains a small population of photosensitive retinal …

Maximising survival requires animals to balance the competing demands of maintaining
energy balance and avoiding predation. Here, quantitative modelling shows that optimising …

Body temperature is a crucial variable in animals that affects nearly every aspect of their
lives. Here we analyze for the first time largescale patterns in the evolution of body …

Global climate change is expected to have strong effects on the world's flora and fauna. As a
result, there has been a recent increase in the number of meta-analyses and mechanistic …

The Darwinian fitness of mammals living in a rhythmic environment depends on
endogenous daily (circadian) rhythms in behavior and physiology. Here, we discuss the …

Temperature is an important environmental factor governing the ability of organisms to grow,
survive and reproduce. Thermal performance curves (TPCs), with some caveats, are useful …
