Abstract Circadian clocks play an essential role in adapting locomotor activity as well physiological, and metabolic rhythms of organisms to the day-night cycles on Earth during four seasons. In addition, they can serve a time reference for measuring day length adapt advance annual changes environment, which be particularly pronounced at higher latitudes. The physiological responses are also known photoperiodism. This special issue Journal Comparative Physiology A aims account diurnal photoperiodic adaptations by presenting collection ten review articles, five original research three perspective pieces. contributions include historical accounts, circadian clock models, epigenetic, molecular, neuronal mechanisms seasonal adaptations, latitudinal differences studies wild that address challenges global change.
