This paper reviews the literature on the circadian rhythm of body temperature (CRT) and a section on the nervous control of the CRT is followed by summary and conclusions.

Cattle calves exhibit a very robust daily rhythm of body temperature, although this rhythm is absent at birth and develops during the first two months of life, which is more robust than that of any mammalian species previously studied.

It is confirmed that morning chronotypes attain better grades than evening chronotypes, although the association is weak (r2 = 0.02), and the difference persisted even after the time of day of classes and exams was taken into consideration.

The experimental results are consistent with the general principles of thermal chronobiology derived from laboratory studies and provide specific information about the peculiarities of livestock species.

Research on the neural processes responsible for temporal niche selection has revealed no fundamental difference between the circadian clocks of diurnal and nocturnal animals, but recent findings suggest that different output pathways from the clock in a given species may operate with different circadian phases, providing an explanation for why different body functions in the same individual are subjected to different temporal niche selections.
