A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly: New paper out in @pnas.org s.org by @nils-reinhard.bsky.social and @flyingclocks.bsky.social ingclocks.bsky.social. Only four specialized nerve cells drive the animals' endogenous clock.

New #AWI study shows how sustainable management of #krill in the Southern Ocean can work. The concept for managing krill stocks involves close cooperation with fisheries. #Antarctica #CCAMLR

The female menstrual cycle was probably originally synchronized with the lunar cycle. This has changed significantly due to artificial light and smartphones, as a new study now published in the Journal Science Advances shows. go.uniwue.de/moon

Excited to share that senior postdoc Sören Häfker @awi.de just secured one of the highly competitive @erc.europa.eu@ercgrantees.bsky.social #ERCStG grants to pioneer work decoding the molecular clockwork driving rhythmicity of krill in the #marine #foodweb! More on BICLOPS here: bit.ly/4lYpBq0

Krill fishing in the Antarctic: overlaps with consequences 🐋🌊

New AWI study shows: Acoustic data reveal when and where fishing vessels compete with whales and penguins for krill in the Southern Ocean – and what this entails for the ecosystem

Research by Dr David Wilcockson from our Department of Life Sciences has helped identify the cells responsible for the biological clocks of tiny beach-dwelling crustaceans which allow them to keep time with the tides.

New paper out in @elife.bsky.social! Antarctic krill not only reacts to external environmental influences such as light or food. It also uses its internal clock to adapt to the conditions of the polar environment. @lhueppe.bsky.social @awi.de @hifmb.de ➡️ go.uniwue.de/antarctic-kr... 📷 Lukas Hüppe

New paper out in @elife.bsky.social!
Antarctic krill use their clock to control daily rhythms of swimming activity across a wide range of photoperiods, which helps them adapt to their high-latitude habitat🌊🦐🕖☀️
Great collaboration between @uni-wuerzburg.de, @awi.de, @hifmb.de!

A circadian clock drives behavioral activity in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and provides a potential mechanism for seasonal timing
Behavioral experiments provide strong evidence that krill swimming behavior is controlled by biological clocks throughout the year, revealing a key mechanism for adaptation to high-latitude habitats.
