Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the role of photoperiod in timing seasonal adaptations in plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. The current literature is distinctly separated among researchers working with these different taxa. The field is poised to make rapid progress in the understanding of seasonal clocks at all levels of analysis and this book will stimulate cross-talk among investigators from all related disciplines.
