Maternal rhythms help to develop the suprachiasmatic nuclei’s “master clock”

According to a new study published May 24th, 2022, in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Alena Sumová and coworkers of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, genes within the fetus’s developing clock respond to rhythmic behavior in the mother during fetal development, first before the biological clock starts ticking on its own.

Researchers take a deep dive into the genetic origins of mustelid physiological and behavioral range

Within the order Carnivora, Mustelids are the most ecologically and taxonomically varied family. They inhabit a range of natural niches, from the tayra in the tropics to the wolverine in the subarctic, and have developed species-specific features relating to their feeding, reproductive strategy, and shape.
