Influence of photoperiod on hormones, behavior, and immune function.

Frontiers in neuroendocrinology - 1 Aug 2011

Walton James C, Weil Zachary M, Nelson Randy J

Abstract excerpt

Photoperiodism is the ability of plants and animals to measure environmental day length to ascertain time of year. Central to the evolution of photoperiodism in animals is the adaptive distribution of energetically challenging activities across the year to optimize reproductive fitness while balancing the energetic tradeoffs necessary for seasonally-appropriate survival strategies. The ability to accurately...
