Developmentally determined attenuation in circadian rhythms links chronobiology to social organization in bees.
We investigated labor-related plasticity in the circadian clock of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris. Bumblebee workers vary enormously in body size, and we found that size, division of labor, and diurnal rhythms in activity are correlated in B. terrestris colonies. Large workers typically perform foraging activities with strong diurnal rhythms and low activity at night, whereas small bees typica...
متن کاملLinks between Circadian Rhythms and Psychiatric Disease
Determining the cause of psychiatric disorders is a goal of modern neuroscience, and will hopefully lead to the discovery of treatments to either prevent or alleviate the suffering caused by these diseases. One roadblock to attaining this goal is the realization that neuropsychiatric diseases are rarely due to a single gene polymorphism, environmental exposure, or developmental insult. Rather, ...
متن کاملBiological Rhythms Workshop I: introduction to chronobiology.
In this chapter, we present a series of four articles derived from a Introductory Workshop on Biological Rhythms presented at the 72nd Annual Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Quantitative Biology: Clocks and Rhythms. A diverse range of species, from cyanobacteria to humans, evolved endogenous biological clocks that allow for the anticipation of daily variations in light and temperature. The abil...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms and the circadian organization of living systems.
The writing of this paper has been influenced by strongly held convictions. This does not concern the validity of the theoretical scheme it offers; it concerns the need at this juncture in the study of “daily” rhythms for bold and explicit theory formation. We are beset rather than blessed with an enormous number of observations about a great diversity of organisms that range from unicellulars ...
