Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of the molecular circadian clocks is currently understood as a transcription/translation feedback loop involving more than ten genes. Genetic variation at some of loci in these genes has been shaped by adaptation to environmental factors. In particular, latitudinal clines in allele frequency were documented in several animal species, but the contradictory conclusions were drawn from the results of...
