Annual, lunar, and tidal clocks : patterns and mechanisms of nature's enigmatic rhythms / Hideharu Numata, Barbara Helm, editors.
There is more to biological rhythms than circadian clocks. This book aims at promoting the exciting potential of a deeper understanding of circannual, circatidal, and circalunar clocks. It highlights new developments, summarizes existing knowledge, and integrates different perspectives with the tool...
