Journal of Comparative Physiology B publishes peer-reviewed original and review articles on the comparative physiology of invertebrate and vertebrate animals.
The Journal of Comparative Physiology B invites researchers in the field of comparative physiology to submit their latest findings and insights on the fascinating topic of sleep and circadian rhythms. Sleep and circadian rhythms play pivotal roles in the physiological processes of organisms across diverse species, and understanding their comparative aspects promises to unravel fundamental principles underlying biological rhythms.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and theoretical papers that address various aspects of sleep and circadian rhythms in comparative physiology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Evolutionary perspectives on sleep patterns and circadian regulation.
• Comparative studies elucidating the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying sleep and circadian rhythms.
• Physiological and behavioral adaptations related to sleep and circadian rhythms in different species.
• Environmental influences and entrainment of circadian rhythms across diverse habitats.
• Comparative studies on the impact of sleep deprivation and disturbances on health and performance.
• The role of sleep and circadian rhythms in specific physiological processes, such as metabolism, reproduction, and immune function.
• Comparative studies exploring the effects of aging, development, and seasonal changes on sleep and circadian rhythms.
• Technological advancements and innovative methodologies for studying sleep and circadian rhythms in comparative physiology.
Authors are encouraged to present novel findings, propose hypotheses, and provide mechanistic insights that enhance our understanding of the comparative physiology of sleep and circadian rhythms. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary approaches that integrate behavioral, physiological, genetic, and computational methodologies.
Manuscripts should adhere to the Journal of Comparative Physiology B's submission guidelines, available on our website. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process by experts in the field to ensure high scientific standards and relevance to the journal's scope.
This special issue will provide a platform for researchers to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in the field of comparative physiology of sleep and circadian rhythms.
Accepted papers will contribute to advancing our understanding of the fundamental principles underlying sleep and circadian rhythms across diverse organisms.
We look forward to receiving your cutting-edge research contributions and fostering a vibrant discussion on the comparative physiology of sleep and circadian rhythms.
Prospective authors should send an expression of interest (title and abstract) to the Guest Editor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy.
