Cycling environmental conditions that vary with latitude have led to the evolution of intricate
timing mechanisms. Nasonia vitripennis, a small parasitic wasp (Hymenoptera), is known to …

In this study we addressed a question of whether experimental manipulations that increase
life span also reduce physical activity and molecular oxidative damage. We used three …

Expanded CAG/CTG repeat disorders affect over 1 in 2500 individuals worldwide. Potential
therapeutic avenues include gene silencing and modulation of repeat instability. However, …

The ability to entrain to environmental cycles and therefore anticipate and prepare for the
changes they predictably bring is the preserve of the endogenous biological clock, most widely …
