Clock gene variation is associated with breeding phenology and maybe under directional selection in the migratory barn swallow.

Clock gene variation is associated with breeding phenology and maybe under directional selection in the migratory barn swallow.

In diverse taxa, photoperiodic responses that cause seasonal physiological and behavioural shifts are controlled by genes, including the vertebrate Clock orthologues, that encode for circadian oscillator mechanisms. While the genetic network behind circadian rhythms is well described, relatively few...
