Thesis
The regulation of circadian rhythms by the natural light environment
- Abstract:
-
Almost all life on Earth has evolved under ~24hr cycles in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Consequently, virtually all organisms have evolved internally generated near-24hr cycles in physiology and behaviour, known as circadian rhythms. However, these rhythms rarely have a period of exactly 24hrs. As such, daily adjustment by external time cues is required to align the phase of internal circadian rhythms with the external environment. This enables organisms to antic...
