This study presents the first findings on nocturnal behavior patterns of wild Angolan giraffe. We characterized their and analyzed influence ecological factors such as group size, season, habitat use. Giraffe were observed using night vision systems thermal imaging cameras Okapuka Ranch, Namibia. A total 77 giraffe during 24 nights over two distinct periods-July-August 2016 (dry season) February-March 2017 (wet season). Photoperiod had a marked activity moving behavior. At dusk, reduced time spent increasingly lay down slept at onset darkness. Body postures that likely correspond to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep posture (RSP) 15.8 ± 18.3 min after sat down.

When specific resting site, several individuals alert (vigilant) while other members or took up RSP. Simultaneous events within rarely observed.

Migratory birds regularly perform impressive long-distance flights, which are timed relative to the anticipated environmental resources at destination areas that can be several thousand kilometres away. Timely migration requires diverse strategies and adaptations involve an intricate interplay between internal clock mechanisms conditions across annual cycle. Here we review what challenges face during long migrations keep track of time as they exploit geographically distant may vary in availability predictability, summarize enable them succeed. We examine following challenges: departing for spring autumn migration, anticipation future conditions; using clocks on move, example orientation, navigation stopover; adhering to, or adjusting, programme while fitting their activities into cycle; keeping pace with a world rapidly changing environments. then elaborate these themes by case studies representing migrating different movement patterns associated circannual programmes. discuss current knowledge how endogenous programmes interact external information cycle, components cycle encode topography range expansions, fitness affected when mismatches timing occur. Lastly, outline open questions propose research directions. This article is part themed issue ‘Wild clocks: integrating chronobiology ecology understand timekeeping free-living animals’.

Endogenous programs that regulate annual cycles have been shown for many taxa, including protists, arthropods, fish, mammals and birds. In migration biology, these are best known in songbirds. The majority of songbirds rely on a genetic program inherited from their parents will guide them during first solo-migration. phenotypic components the crucial individual fitness survival, include time components, direction, distance. This is constructed to both behavior flexible responses environment at different stages cycle. driven by circannual rhythm, allowing for, resetting, carry-over effects.

Animals should time activities, such as foraging, migration and reproduction, well seasonal physiological adaptation, in a way that maximizes fitness. The fitness outcome of activities depends largely on their interspecific interactions; the temporal overlap with other species determines when they be active order to maximize encounters food minimize predators, competitors parasites. To cope constantly changing, but predictable structure environment, organisms have evolved internal biological clocks, which are synchronized mainly by light, most reliable environmental cue (but can masked variables), enable them anticipate prepare for predicted changes timing interact with, top responding directly. Here, we review examples where system is used predict interactions, how these interactions affect activity patterns.

Abstract The circadian system is responsible for internal functions and regulation of the organism according to environmental cues (zeitgebers). Circadian rhythm dysregulation or chronodisruption has been associated with several diseases, from mental autoimmune life quality change. Following this, some therapies have developed correct misalignments, such as light therapy chronobiotics. In this manuscript, we describe circadian‐related diseases so far investigated, studies reporting relevant data on topic, evidencing relationship, are included. Despite actual limitations in published work, there clear evidence correlation between disease origin/development, and, way, clock‐related emerge great progress clinical field. Future improvements interventions can lead development successful chronotherapy strategies, deeply contributing enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
