Mismatched light and heat levels can disrupt body clock Date: November 8, 2016 Source: University College London Summary: Body clock function can break down when light and temperature levels ...

Body temperature follows a 24-hour rhythm, peaking during the day, low at night. The benefit might be the conservation of energy while sleeping.

New research reveals that fruit flies and mammals may share a surprising evolutionary link in how they control body temperature through circadian rhythm, unlocking new ways to study the insects as ...

Body clock function can break down when light and temperature levels throughout the day are out of sync, finds new UCL (University College London) research in fruit flies.

Another important ecological trait that is influenced by body size and temperature is rmax, the intrinsic rate of population increase (i.e., the rate at which populations can grow in the absence ...
