Chronobiology is a multidisciplinary field that extends across the tree of life, transcends all scales biological organization, and has huge translational potential. For UK to harness opportunities presented within applied chronobiology, we need build our network outwards reach stakeholders can directly benefit from discoveries. In this article, discuss importance rhythms health, society, economy environment, with particular focus on circadian rhythms. We subsequently introduce vision objectives BioClocks UK, newly formed research network, whose mission stimulate researcher interactions sustain discovery-impact cycles between chronobiologists, wider communities multiple industry sectors.

Over the past two decades, there has been an alarming decline in number of honey bee colonies. This phenomenon is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Bee products play a significant role human life and have huge impact on agriculture, therefore bees are economically important species. Honey found its healing application various sectors life, as well other such royal jelly, propolis, pollen. There many putative factors CCD, air pollution, GMO, viruses, or predators (such wasps hornets). It is, however, believed that pesticides microorganisms mass extinction Insecticides chemicals dangerous to both humans environment. They can cause enormous damage bees’ nervous system permanently weaken their immune system, making them vulnerable factors. Some insecticides negatively affect are, for example, neonicotinoids, coumaphos, chlorpyrifos. Microorganisms diseases bees, weakening health colony often resulting extinction. Infection with may result need dispose entire hive prevent spread pathogens hives. Many aspects still unclear. The deepen knowledge this matter crucial, bearing mind how these animals life.

Abstract Avian long-distance migration requires refined programming to orchestrate the birds’ movements on annual temporal and continental spatial scales. Programming is particularly important as typically anticipate future environmental conditions. Hence, has long been of particular interest in chronobiology. Captivity studies using a proxy, shift nocturnality during seasons (i.e., migratory restlessness), have revealed circannual circadian regulation, well an innate sense direction. Thanks rapid development tracking technology, detailed information from free-flying birds, including annual-cycle data actograms, now allows relating this mechanistic background behaviour wild. Likewise, genomic approaches begin unravel many physiological pathways that contribute migration. Despite these advances, it still unclear how programmes are integrated with specific conditions experienced journey. Such knowledge imminently environments undergo anthropogenic modification. Migratory birds group not dealing changes, yet some species show remarkable adjustments at behavioural genetic levels.

Abstract Honey bees are critical pollinators in ecosystems and agriculture, but their numbers have significantly declined. Declines pollinator populations thought to be due multiple factors including habitat loss, climate change, increased vulnerability disease parasites, pesticide use. Neonicotinoid pesticides agonists of insect nicotinic cholinergic receptors, sub-lethal exposures linked reduced honey bee hive survival. highly dependent on circadian clocks regulate behaviors, such as foraging orientation navigation, time-memory for food sources, sleep, learning/memory processes. Because clock neurons insects receive light input through signaling we tested effects neonicotinoids rhythms sleep. ingestion by feeding over several days results neonicotinoid accumulation the brain, disrupts rhythmicity many individual bees, shifts timing behavioral that remain rhythmic, impairs Neonicotinoids act synergistically disrupt behavior, directly stimulate wake-promoting fruit fly brain. likely aberrant stimulation neurons, potentially impair time-memory, social communication.

The use of agricultural neonicotinoid insecticides has sub-lethal chronic effects on bees that are more prevalent than acute toxicity. Among these insecticides, thiacloprid, a commonly used compound with low toxicity, attracted significant attention due to its potential impact the olfactory and learning abilities honeybees. effect larval exposure thiacloprid antennal activity adult honeybees ( Apis mellifera L.) is not yet fully understood. To address this knowledge gap, laboratory-based experiments were conducted in which honeybee larvae administered (0.5 mg/L 1.0 mg/L). Using electroantennography (EAG), impacts selectivity common floral volatiles evaluated. Additionally, odor-related memory also assessed. results study reveal, for first time, decreased antenna EAG responses scents, leading increased high-dose (1.0 mg/L) group compared control (0 vs . mg/L: p = 0.042). suggest negatively affected odor-associated paired acquisition, as well medium-term (1 h) 0.019) long-term (24 0.037) amplitudes dramatically reduced following R-linalool training 0.001; 0 0.5 0.027), while activities only differed significantly between unpaired groups.
