Seasonal and diel variations in the acoustic communication of tree hyraxes in Taita Hills, Kenya
Tree hyraxes ( Dendrohyrax spp.) are highly vocal, elusive nocturnal mammals that live in forests across much of Sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we studied...

Disentangling Diel Variations in the Carbon Isotopic Composition of Soil CO2 Efflux: Insights from a Multi-chamber System and a Non-Steady-State Model
Soil carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) efflux ( F s ) and its carbon isotopic composition ( δ Fs ) based on the chamber methods are widely used to represent soil...

Invertebrate sounds from photic to mesophotic coral reefs reveal vertical stratification and diel diversity
Although mesophotic coral ecosystems account for approximately 80% of coral reefs, they remain largely unexplored due to their challenging...
-
Diel changes in fish assemblages of Southwest Atlantic rocky reefs
The alternation of light and darkness drives species’ activities, and identifying diel rhythms is critical for understanding the ecology and...
-
Microbial circadian clocks: host-microbe interplay in diel cycles
BackgroundCircadian rhythms, observed across all domains of life, enable organisms to anticipate and prepare for diel changes in environmental...

Variations in defensive behaviors according to diel period and sex in a litter-dwelling harvestman Pseudopucrolia discrepans (Opiliones: Gonyleptidae)
Harvestmen are considered excellent models for investigating defensive behavior, as they can demonstrate primary mechanisms, such as cryptic...

Categorizing the geometry of animal diel movement patterns with examples from high-resolution barn owl tracking
BackgroundMovement is central to understanding the ecology of animals. The most robustly definable segments of an individual’s lifetime track are its...

Diel investments in metabolite production and consumption in a model microbial system
Organic carbon transfer between surface ocean photosynthetic and heterotrophic microbes is a central but poorly understood process in the global...

Sexual Dimorphism, Diel Activity, and Mating Behavior of Eubulus cf. elongatus: an Emergent Pest Root in Cassava Crops
Eubulus cf. elongatus Hustache (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a Neotropical species recently considered an important pest of cassava ( Manihot...

Diel variation in anti-predation behavior of a ground squirrel and relationships between vigilance and escape
AbstractPredation risk is among the most fundamental selection pressures, making anti-predation behavior a highly adaptive trait. Vigilance and...

Seasonal and diel activity patterns of small mammal guilds on the Pannonian Steppe: a step towards a better understanding of the ecology of the endangered Hungarian birch mouse (Sicista trizona) (Sminthidae, Rodentia)
Temporal activity differences facilitate species’ coexistence by reducing interspecific competition. Such patterns can be studied via diel activity...

The neritic marine copepod Centropages typicus does not suffer physiological costs from diel temperature fluctuations associated with its vertical migration
Diel vertical migration exposes zooplankton to fluctuating environmental conditions. In our study, we investigated the physiological costs of diel...

Seasonal and diurnal variations in soil respiration rates at a treeline ecotone and a lower distribution limit of subalpine forests
This study examined the seasonal and diurnal variations in soil respiration rates ( R S ) during a growing season at the treeline ecotone (2,800 m) and...

Camera traps reveal overlap and seasonal variation in the diel activity of arboreal and semi-arboreal mammals
Our study aimed to investigate seasonal variation in the activity of arboreal and semi-arboreal mammals and investigate their overlap in temporal...

Acoustic monitoring reveals a diel rhythm of an arctic seabird colony (little auk, Alle alle)
The child-like question of why birds sing in the morning is difficult to answer, especially in polar regions. There, in summer animals live without...

Annual and diel activity cycles of a northern population of the large migratory cyprinid fish asp (Leuciscus aspius)
Little is known about the exact movement parameters of migratory cyprinids listed as conservation priorities. A northern population of predatory asp,...

Effects of constant and diel cyclic temperatures on the liver and intestinal phospholipid fatty acid composition in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss during seawater acclimation
BackgroundRainbow trout is an economically important fish in aquaculture and is a model species in environmental physiology. Despite earlier research...

Predator Chemical Cue Effects on the Diel Feeding Behaviour of Marine Protists
We have assessed the effect of copepod chemical cues on the diel feeding rhythms of heterotrophic and mixotrophic marine protists. All phagotrophic...

Temporal activity patterns of bears, wolves and humans in the Cantabrian Mountains, northern Spain
Human-wildlife coexistence is important for a sustainable relationship between humans and the natural environment. However, human activities often...

Effects of seawater acclimation at constant and diel cyclic temperatures on growth, osmoregulation and branchial phospholipid fatty acid composition in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss
The study investigated the effects of seawater acclimation at constant and diel temperatures on the growth, osmoregulation, and branchial...
