Circadian rhythms
- Submission status
- Closed
- Submission deadline
All organisms naturally display internal processes that are responses to external environmental stimuli. When these repeat roughly every 24 hours, they are described as circadian rhythms, being governed by a circadian clock that adjusts to changes in light, temperature and other external cues. Circadian rhythms are found across the whole tree of life, governing processes like the sleep-wake cycle, flowering, temperature regulation, hormone production, and many others. Circadian rhythms provide evolutionary advantages and can have serious negative consequences when disrupted.
The Collection will offer a platform for the latest research in circadian rhythms across a variety of species, on their origin, the fundamental mechanisms, and the consequences of their disruption.
