A transcriptomic examination of encased rotifer embryos reveals the developmental trajectory leading to long-term dormancy; are they “animal seeds”?
BackgroundOrganisms from many distinct evolutionary lineages acquired the capacity to enter a dormant state in response to environmental conditions...

Photoperiodic time measurement, photoreception, and circadian clocks in insect photoperiodism
Photoperiodism is an adaptive response used by organisms to assess day length and anticipate upcoming seasons and to coordinate their (or their...

Epigenetics and seasonal timing in animals: a concise review
Seasonal adaptation in animals is a complex process that involves genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. The present review explores recent...

Neural Mechanism of Photoperiodism
In neural mechanisms underlying photoperiodism, photoperiodic information is received by photoreceptors and is processed in the photoperiodic clock...
