Circannual rhythms in starlings: response of castrated birds to 12-hr days depends on photoperiodic history.

abstract：:Since the advent of techniques to investigate gene expression on a large scale, numerous circadian rhythms in mRNA amount have been reported. These rhythms generally differ in amplitude and phase. The authors investigated how far a parameter not regulated by the circadian clock can influence the phase of a rhythm in R...
