Physiology of circadian entrainment. (2010, background): “Among these other synchronizer signals, food availability (132, 312), social contacts (347, 352) and, depending on the habitats, tides, temperature, or even moonlight (120, 133, 378) have been reported to be relevant to adjust circadian pacemaking; some shall be mentioned briefly along the way.”
Differential Control of Bmal1 Circadian Transcription by REV-ERB and ROR Nuclear Receptors (2005, background): “Circadian rhythms in mammalian physiological functions are driven by a central pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus (Dunlap et al., 2003).”
Sociable schedules: interplay between avian seasonal and social behaviour (2006, background): “Most organisms have evolved complex mechanisms to meet the challenge to stay on time, as demonstrated by chronobiology, the systematic study of ‘adaptations . to cope with regular geophysical cycles’ (Dunlap et al. 2004, page XVII).”
