Improved jet lag recovery is associated with a weaker molecular biological clock response around the time of expected activity onset by Marie-Claire Boutrin, Melissa E. S. Richardson, Feyikemi Oriola, Samira Bolo

“…IntroductionProperly timed environmental light input to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain is crucial in maintaining the 24-hour biological rhythm (circadian rhythm). However, light exposure at the wrong time of the day-night cycle is disruptive to circadian-regulated behaviors such as the sleep-wake cycle and memory. …”

Combining Individual‐Based Radio‐Tracking With Whole‐Genome Sequencing Data Reveals Candidate for Genetic Basis of Partial Migration in a Songbird by Matthias H. Weissensteiner, Kira Delmore, Valentina Peona, Juan Sebastian Lugo Ramos, Gregoire Arnaud, Julio Blas, Bruno Faivre, Ivan Pokrovsky, Martin Wikelski, Jesko Partecke, Miriam Liedvogel

“…The region with the highest relative and absolute differentiation was located on chromosome 9, overlapping PER2, which has previously been shown to be involved in the control of the circadian rhythm across vertebrates. While this region showed high levels of differentiation, no fixed variant could be identified, supporting the notion that a complex phenotype such as migratory behavior is likely controlled by a large number of genetic loci.…”
