Abstract excerpt

Variation is a fundamental principle of natural and artificial selection. Annual cycles in daylength or photoperiod are an environmental cue that most species in the plant and animal kingdoms use to determine the time of year and the direction of annual changes. Despite phylogenetic variation in mechanisms of light detection, the neural and molecular substrates that transduce photoperiod information are common...
