Seasonal cycles select for self-sustained circadian oscillators

Key Points

• Self-sustained circadian oscillators are influenced by seasonal cycles in their environment, adapting to ecological changes.
• This analysis highlights the role of seasonal cycles in modulating biological rhythms and gene expression patterns across species.
• Observational analysis based on temporal regulation mechanisms shows how seasonal environmental cues affect oscillator stability.
• The findings suggest that understanding circadian oscillators may help in elucidating broader ecological dynamics.
