Almost all organisms have an internal biological clock that synchronizes their behavior with the environment in which they live. Endogenous biological clocks follow the major cyclical rhythms: the ...

A comprehensive study on the rhythmicity of limpets -- mobile intertidal molluscs -- employing field and laboratory observations, as well assembling a clock oriented transcriptome -- shows that in the ...

A hypothesis on the process of adaptation to the tidal environment in a freshwater snail. The circatidal rhythm is not expressed in nontidal individuals under natural conditions. In the early stage of ...

New Worlds: Marine mollusks got rhythm from the tides Organisms that live in shallow waters are presumably influenced by the lunar and tidal cycles more than the solar ones and therefore mostly ...

You get hauled out of bed in the morning not just because of an alarm clock. We are genetically encoded with a 24-hour (circadian) body clock that allows us to live in harmony with our environment.
