Changing day length favors internal biological clocks that keep running on their own

Abstract
Seasonal photoperiodic variations may select for self-sustained circadian oscillators.
- Circadian clocks can maintain oscillations even when environmental conditions remain stable.
- The phenomenon of self-sustained oscillation occurs across all life domains.
- New evidence suggests that variations in day length throughout seasons influence the development of these circadian systems.
