Warming in the Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest on earth, and is predicted to become more asymmetric in the near future. Warming has already favored the growth and reproduction of Antarctic plant species, leading to a decrease in their freezing tolerance (deacclimation). Evidence regarding the effects of diurnal and nocturnal warming on freezing tolerance-related gene expression in is negligible. We hypothesized that freezing tolerance-related gene (such as CBF-regulon) expression is reduced mainly by nocturnal warming rather than diurnal temperature changes in The present work aimed to determine the effects of diurnal and nocturnal warming on cold deacclimation and its associated gene expression in , under laboratory conditions. Fully cold-acclimated plants (8 °C/0 °C), with 16h/8h thermoperiod and photoperiod duration, were assigned to four treatments for 14 days: one control (8 °C/0 °C) and three with different warming conditions (diurnal (14 °C/0 °C), nocturnal (8 °C/6 °C), and diurnal-nocturnal (14 °C/6 °C). RNA-seq was performed and differential gene expression was analyzed. Nocturnal warming significantly down-regulated the CBF transcription factors expression and associated cold stress response genes and up-regulated photosynthetic and growth promotion genes. Consequently, nocturnal warming has a greater effect than diurnal warming on the cold deacclimation process in . The eco-physiological implications are discussed.

Mitochondrial efficiency impacts nocturnal sheltering in juvenile salmon (), affecting the trade-off between foraging and predation risk.

At cold winter temperatures, juvenile salmonids typically spend much of their time sheltering from predators, which negatively impacts foraging for food. Previous work shows that inter-individual variation in mitochondrial efficiency explains variation in food intake, growth and metabolic rate. Here, we examine whether inter-individual variation in mitochondrial efficiency predicts sheltering as a proxy of foraging patterns for overwintering juvenile Atlantic salmon ().

The vast majority of urban heat island (UHI) studies are now derived from surface temperatures, substituting for the original air temperature-based definition. The disparities in hourly surface-canopy UHI effects (SUHI, CUHI) and the contrasting mechanisms are currently poorly understood. Here, we use high-resolution hourly LST and air temperature data from 2064 urban clusters in China to estimate SUHI and CUHI intensities and their driving mechanisms during the summer and winter of 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the effects of anthropogenic global warming on the sleep behavior of Emberiza bruniceps, a nocturnal migratory bird, comparing the impacts of high (35°C) and low (19°C) temperatures on their sleep patterns.
- Results indicated that high temperatures lead to fragmented sleep, with more awakenings at night and reduced overall sleep quality, while low temperatures promoted better sleep conditions.
- Additionally, high temperatures negatively influenced birds' seasonal physiology, including reduced food intake, body mass, and fat stores, along with increased expression of genes related to wakefulness and temperature sensitivity.

Over the last few decades North American flying squirrels ( spp.) have experienced dramatic northward range shifts. Previous studies have focused on the potential effects of warming winter temperatures, yet the hypothesis that rising summer temperature had a role in these range shifts remained unexplored.

High ocean temperatures caused by global warming induce oxidative stress in aquatic organisms. Melatonin treatment and irradiation using red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been reported to reduce oxidative stress in a few aquatic organisms. However, the effects of red LED irradiation and melatonin injection on the antioxidant capacity and degree of apoptosis in abalones, which are nocturnal organisms, have not yet been reported.
