Because these nocturnal animals are most active during the night, when melatonin secretion is the highest, these results should not be surprising. A diurnal rodent model is needed to demonstrate the sleep-inducing effects of melatonin. Arvicanthis niloticus (unstriped Nile grass rat), a diurnal ...

At high latitudes, where the sun does not set over the horizon for a significant part of the summer, living organisms cannot regulate diurnal rhythms on the basis of photoperiod. In such regions, are other factors acting as zeitgebers or are the animals in these regions arrhythmic? The objec...
Through evolutionary adaptation to light–dark cycles, animals have developed diurnal rhythms in metabolism, feeding, and locomotion. As a typical nocturnal species, mice exhibit higher levels of energy expenditure, feeding, and locomotion during periods of dark, compared to light1. Similarly, individua...
Sound is a valuable cue in the marine environment that can inform animals about habitat location and community composition. Indeed, sound is often used for
Rats arenocturnal animalsthat ingest 70–80% of their food during the dark phase.234Rats fed a balanced diet display one peak in meal frequency and rate of intake at the beginning of the night and another peak towards the end (dusk and dawn feeding, respectively).235,236The greater intake...
