This study uses machine learning to identify ultradian rhythms in cockroach locomotor activity, finding a consistent one-hour rhythm during the subjective night.

This study shows that disrupting clock proteins in cockroaches does not eliminate circadian rhythms, suggesting compensatory mechanisms and supporting a model of coupled transcriptional-translational and posttranslational feedback loops.

This study shows that Orco, an olfactory receptor coreceptor, controls circadian rhythms in hawkmoth ORN sensitivity through a post-translational feedback loop rather than the transcriptional-translational clock.

This study identifies three PDFs in tardigrades and shows they function as multifunctional hormones and neuromodulators involved in various physiological processes.

This study shows that hawkmoth pheromone detection uses G protein-dependent phospholipase Cβ signaling, with circadian timing modulating sensitivity and temporal resolution.

This study uses CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out orco in hawkmoths, showing impaired foraging but normal oviposition behavior.
