The influence of biological rhythms on host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Biological rhythms, from circadian control of cellular processes to annual cycles in life history, are a main structural element of biology. Biological rhythms are considered adaptive because they enable organisms to partition activities to cope with ...

A Biological Clock in Drosophila
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1985 The per locus plays a central role in the organization and function of the Drosophila biological clock. The gene has been mapped to a 7-kb DNA segment by physically locating the breakpoints of several chromosomal rearrangements that disrupt per function. This DNA contains a single transcription unit which produces a 4.5-kb poly(A)+ RNA.

Circadian Gating of the Cell Cycle Revealed in Single Cyanobacterial Cells [PDF]
, 2009 Although major progress has been made in uncovering the machinery that underlies individual biological clocks, much less is known about how multiple clocks coordinate their oscillations. We simultaneously tracked cell division events and circadian phases

A Systematic Review of Phenotypic and Epigenetic Clocks Used for Aging and Mortality Quantification in Humans [PDF]
Aging is the leading driver of disease in humans and has profound impacts on mortality. Biological clocks are used to measure the aging process in the hopes of identifying possible interventions.

Circadian rhythms and hormonal homeostasis: Pathophysiological implications [PDF]
, 2017 Over recent years, a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms that control biological clocks and circadian rhythms has been achieved. In fact, many studies have contributed to unravelling the importance of the molecular clock for the regulation ...

Circadian Rhythms of Crawling and Swimming in the Nudibranch Mollusc Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2014 Daily rhythms of activity driven by circadian clocks are expressed by many organisms, including molluscs. We initiated this study, with the nudibranch Melibe leonina, with four goals in mind: (1) determine which behaviors are expressed with a daily ...

Population and species neighbor identity impact trait–trait relationships and plant performance
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We evaluated how populations and species identity influence plant performance and trait outcomes in mixtures, and assessed trait variation among populations of two forb species native to the western United States (Dieteria canescens and Heterotheca villosa) following three interaction treatments (single‐population monoculture, two‐population mixture ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Formal Systems Architectures for Biology [PDF]
, 2011 When the word "systems" is used in systems biology, it invokes a variety of assumptions about what defines the subject under investigation, which in turn can lead to divergent research outcomes.
