      The rhythm of life on earth is shaped by seasonal changes in the environment. Plants and animals show profound annual cycles in physiology, health, morphology, behaviour and demography in response to environmental cues. Seasonal biology impacts ecosystems and agriculture, with consequences for humans and biodiversity. Human populations show robust annual rhythms in health and well-being, and the ...
    • Gerald Lincoln: A man for all seasons 

      Ebling, Francis J.P.; Fletcher, John; Hazlerigg, David Grey; Loudon, Andrew S.I. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-04)
      Gerald Anthony Lincoln died after a short illness on 15 July 2020 at the age of 75 years. Gerald was Emeritus Professor of Biological Timing at Edinburgh University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was an outstanding scientist and naturalist who was a seminal figure in developing our understanding of the neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying seasonal rhythmicity. This review considers ...
    • Thyroid hormone and seasonal rhythmicity 

      Dardente, Hugues; Hazlerigg, David; Ebling, Francis J.P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-26)
      Living organisms show seasonality in a wide array of functions such as reproduction, fattening, hibernation, and migration. At temperate latitudes, changes in photoperiod maintain the alignment of annual rhythms with predictable changes in the environment.The appropriate physiological response to changing photoperiod in mammals requires retinal detection of light and pineal secretion of melatonin, ...
