• Suprachiasmatic Nucleus: Cell Autonomy and Network Properties (2010, background): “Seasonal changes in day length (photoperiod) in rodents result in changes in waveform of circadian rhythms, notably locomotor activity and melatonin release, the latter being an important signal for seasonal changes in reproductive function and other physiological processes (163).”
• Photoperiodic Control of Seasonality in Birds (2001, background): “First, the “external coincidence” hypothesis (see Goldman, 2001 [this issue]) describes a rhythm of “photoinducibility,” or φi, that occurs early in the subjective night and when illuminated by light causes “long photoperiod”-type responses.”
• Kisspeptins and reproduction: physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms. (2012, background): “In addition to those, reproductive function in many vertebrate species is exquisitely sensitive to environmental cues signaling the season and day length to the centers governing reproductive function (142).”
• Generation of the Melatonin Endocrine Message in Mammals: A Review of the Complex Regulation of Melatonin Synthesis by Norepinephrine, Peptides, and Other Pineal Transmitters (2003, methodology): “343 V.

Noradrenergic regulation of melatonin synthesis in the rat pineal gland . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 346 1.”
• Exogenously applied melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) affects flowering of the short-day plant Chenopodium rubrum (2003, background): “Exogenous melatonin application can ‘mimic’ darkness and therefore affect circadian rhythms and photoperiodic responses of many animals (reviewed, e.g. in Reiter 1993, Vaněček 1998, Goldman 2001).”
• Seasonality of reproduction in sheep (2003, background): “…in the PT affected the photoperiodically induced cycles of FSH and prolactin secretion in rams, other authors (Malpaux et al., 1994, 1995, 1998; Goldman, 2001) argue that melatonin in this site only regulates the seasonal variation in prolactin secretion and not the secretion of gonadotropins.”
