NiCE: Investigating nervous system integration of daylength and temperature mismatches in — NSF Award to University of Kentucky Re

Ecosystem change can cause animals to become out of sync with other species that provide critical resources like food or nesting habitat. This loss of synchronization results from mismatches in cues that indicate time of day or year. For example, many animals use daylength and temperature to coordinate their behaviors

AbstractEcosystem change can cause animals to become out of sync with other species that provide critical resources like food or nesting habitat. This loss of synchronization results from mismatches in cues that indicate time of day or year. For example, many animals use daylength and temperature to coordinate their behaviors with their environment. Sometimes, these two factors no longer line up; for example, temperatures are changing while daylength is staying the same. The goal of the current study, w
