To accommodate daily recurring environmental changes, animals show cyclic variations in
behaviour and physiology, which include prominent behavioural states such as sleep–wake …

Although it has been known for almost half a century that migratory birds can detect the
direction of the Earth's magnetic field, the primary sensory mechanism behind this …

S phase kinase-associated protein 1 (SKP1)–cullin 1 (CUL1)–F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin
ligase complexes use a family of F-box proteins as substrate adaptors to mediate the …

The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades
that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their …

Magnetism plays a pivotal role in many biological systems. However, the intensity of the
magnetic forces exerted between magnetic bodies is usually low, which demands the …

Plants must constantly adapt to a changing light environment in order to optimize energy
conversion through the process of photosynthesis and to limit photodamage. In addition …

Patterns of daily human activity are controlled by an intrinsic circadian clock that promotes∼
24 hr rhythms in many behavioral and physiological processes. This system is altered in …

Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors that mediate photoresponses in plants. The
genomes of most land plants encode two clades of cryptochromes, CRY1 and CRY2, which …

Light is crucial for plant life, and perception of the light environment dictates plant growth,
morphology, and developmental changes. Such adjustments in growth and development in …

The circadian clock is a master regulator of mammalian physiology, regulating daily
oscillations of crucial biological processes and behaviors. Notably, circadian disruption has …
