June 20 (UPI) --New research has revealed how circadian and tidal clocks interact to govern the behavior of some animals -- like the crustacean species Scyphax ornatus, a sand-burrowing isopod native ...

We’ve known for ages that animals have a good sense of time and can control their behavior depending on the time of day it is. Many times, this sense is attributed to something known as a circadian ...

The tides! Such a unique thing, because on Earth, we don’t just have oceans full of liquid water—we also have a big ol’ moon called Moon to pull them around. You might like to keep track of the tides; ...

Old fashioned tide clocks were an attempt to predict high tide by timing the rising and setting of the moon. When you looked at one you could see how many hours until the next high tide. [rabbitcreek] ...

A comprehensive study on the rhythmicity of limpets -- mobile intertidal molluscs -- employing field and laboratory observations, as well assembling a clock oriented transcriptome -- shows that in the ...

Two marine species have internal rhythms driven by the tide and the moon, independent of ordinary circadian rhythms, according to studies published yesterday (September 26) in Current Biology and Cell ...

University of Leicester researchers have revealed that coastal animals have their own biological tidal timer, which is separate from their 24-hour body clock. Experts from the University's Department ...

Bristle worms have two body clocks: a circadian clock and a lunar clock that helps them know when to spawn Most animals have a circadian clock that helps them distinguish night and day, but now ...
