Collectively the daily, seasonal, lunar and tidal geophysical cycles regulate much of the temporal biology of life on Earth. The increasing isolation of human societies from these geophysical cycles, as a result of improved living conditions, high-quality nutrition and 24/7 working practices, have led many to believe that human biology functions independently of them. Yet recent studies have highlighted the dominant role that our circadian clock plays in the organisation of 24 hour patterns of… Expand

Evidence that the Lunar Cycle Influences Human Sleep
TLDR
It is shown that subjective and objective measures of sleep vary according to lunar phase and thus may reflect circalunar rhythmicity in humans and is the first reliable evidence that a lunar rhythm can modulate sleep structure in humans when measured under the highly controlled conditions of a circadian laboratory study protocol without time cues. Expand
Life Rhythm as a Symphony of Oscillatory Patterns: Electromagnetic Energy and Sound Vibration Modulates Gene Expression for Biological Signaling and Healing
TLDR
The authors' lives contain a seeming infinity of rhythms, with vibrations at the atomic and molecular levels and within biochemical reaction rates that coincide with diurnal and seasonal cycles. Expand
An Overview of Monthly Rhythms and Clocks
TLDR
This review focuses on the adaptations of animals to the lunar cycle, specifically, on the occurrence of biological rhythms with monthly or semi-monthly period lengths, and discusses the existence of circalunar oscillations in mammalian physiology. Expand
Effect of urbanization on daily behavior and seasonal functions in vertebrates
TLDR
This review of the literature available on the effects of urbanization on diverse processes of organisms with particular emphasis on avian system considers further research with long-term data-sets on phenological and physiological parameters from diverse group of organisms and diverse habitat essential for better understanding of impact of global climate change on the biodiversity. Expand
Disrupted seasonal biology impacts health, food security and ecosystems
TLDR
This review emphasizes the need for a better understanding of seasonal biology against the backdrop of its rapidly progressing disruption through climate change, human lifestyles and other anthropogenic impact and summarizes the recent evidence for seasonal desynchronization between environmental factors and internal rhythms. Expand
What if …. the Moon provides zeitgeber signals to humans?
Folk wisdom suggests the Moon can impact human biology, in particular that related to mental health. While lunar cycles co-determine temporal biology of many organisms, questions remain concerning… Expand
Annual, Lunar, and Tidal Clocks
TLDR
Timing in Tidal, Semilunar, and Lunar Rhythms and Circalunar Clock Interactions and the Impact of Light in Platynereis dumerilii and Circannual Rhythm Regulation in Insects. Expand
Circannual Rhythms: History, Present Challenges, Future Directions
TLDR
The present chapter outlines basic definitions and ideas on circannual rhythms, summarizes ground-laying work, and highlights some current developments, and addresses challenges in this field and the opportunities that arise from the rapid development of new technologies. Expand
Moonstruck sleep: Synchronization of Human Sleep with the Moon Cycle under Natural Conditions
TLDR
The data suggests that moonlight may have exerted selective pressure for nocturnal activity and sleep inhibition and that access to artificial evening light may emulate the ancestral effect of early-night moonlight. Expand
Seasonality in human cognitive brain responses
TLDR
Previously unappreciated process-specific seasonality in human cognitive brain function that could contribute to intraindividual cognitive changes at specific times of year and changes in affective control in vulnerable populations are revealed. Expand

Biological rhythms of locomotor activity, reproduction and other aspects of behavior can be observed in synchrony not only with daily and seasonal variations of environmental conditions but also with… Expand
The Decline in Human Seasonality
TLDR
It is argued that the different shapes of the annual birth rhythms around the globe could be explained by assuming that human populations are a mixture of photoperiodic responders and nonresponders. Expand

Epidemiology of the human circadian clock.
TLDR
An algorithm is established which optimises chronotype assessment by incorporating the information on timing of sleep and wakefulness for both work and free days, because sleep duration strongly depends on chronotype. Expand
Annual Rhythm of Human Reproduction: II. Environmental Correlations
TLDR
It is shown for the first time on a global scale that photoperiod, as shown for many animals, may also influence the physiology of human reproduction, and temperature and the specific changes in their impact can account for several features of the annual human conception rhythm. Expand

TLDR
Evidence pertaining to the endogenous control mechanisms, both physiological and behavioural, is reviewed, and the organization of the endogenous time-keeping system is discussed in terms of identifiable oscillators of different frequencies. Expand

TLDR
Continuing work with this crab, using modern approaches and statistical techniques, has modified earlier findings and interpretations, has revealed new properties, and has resulted in the creation of new hypotheses. Expand
The Human Circadian Clock's Seasonal Adjustment Is Disrupted by Daylight Saving Time
TLDR
The data indicate that the human circadian system does not adjust to DST and that its seasonal adaptation to the changing photoperiods is disrupted by the introduction of summer time, which may extend to other aspects of seasonal biology in humans. Expand
Annual Rhythm of Human Reproduction: I. Biology, Sociology, or Both?
TLDR
The seasonal component in human reproduction is based on biological factors, and the phase of the rhythm depends on latitude, with a 6-month difference between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Expand
Are Humans Seasonally Photoperiodic?
  • F. Bronson
  • Biology, Medicine
  • Journal of biological rhythms
  • 2004
TLDR
It is suggested that some humans indeed are seasonally photoresponsive, but others are not, and that individual variation may be the cause of the inconsistencies that have plagued the study of responsiveness to photoperiod in the past. Expand
