Heritable circadian period length in a wild bird population.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Nov 2010

Helm Barbara, Visser Marcel E

Abstract excerpt

Timing is essential, but circadian clocks, which play a crucial role in timekeeping, are almost unaddressed in evolutionary ecology. A key property of circadian clocks is their free-running period length (τ), i.e. the time taken for a full cycle under constant conditions. Under laboratory conditi...
