This article focuses on the Goodwin oscillator and related minimal models, which describe negative feedback schemes that are of relevance for the circadian rhythms in Neurospora, Drosophila, and probably also in mammals. The temperature... more
In several bushcricket species, individual males synchronise their chirps during acoustic interactions. Synchrony is imperfect with the chirps of one male leading or lagging the other by a few milliseconds. Imperfect synchrony is believed... more
Previously, the effects of 2-h treatments with the reversible transcription inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-1-β-D-ribobenzimidazole (DRB) on the phase of the circadian rhythm in the eye of Aplysia californica were studied. Here we report a study... more
The phase and period responses to short light pulses were studied in the jerboa, a seasonal, hibernating, nocturnal rodent from the Atlas region in Morocco. The jerboa, which is a saltatory species, showed precise activity onsets and... more
Threads of evidence from recent experimentation in retinal morphology, neurochemistry, electrophysiology, and visual perception point toward rhythmic ocular processes that may be integral components of circadian entrainment in mammals.... more
Cells of Dictyostelium discoideum known to release cyclic AMP (cAMP) rhythmically in the form of pulses, change with the same period of about 8 min the pH of their medium. The pH is used here as an indicator to investigate the effect of... more
In Nature it is possible to observe diverse rhythms. Because of their adaptive characteristics, the circadian rhythms are of major importance and have been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. In this article, we... more
We report the complete reconstruction of the fireflyluciferasegene, fully codon optimized for expression inNeurospora crassa. This reporter enhances light output by approximately 4 log orders over that with previously available versions,... more
