Over recent decades, changes in zebrafish (Danio rerio) behaviour have become popular quantitative indicators in biomedical studies. The circadian rhythms of behavioural processes in zebrafish are known to enable effective utilization of energy and resources, therefore attracting interest in zebrafish as a research model. This review covers a variety of circadian behaviours in this species, including diurnal rhythms of spawning, feeding, locomotor activity, shoaling, light/dark preference, and vertical position preference.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how different light and magnetic conditions affect the life-history traits of Daphnia magna, a type of crustacean.
  • Short-term exposure to varying light cycles significantly influenced specific traits like lifespan and brood size, with mixed results when combined with magnetic variations.
  • The findings support the idea that natural geomagnetic changes can act as an additional time cue for organisms, along with the traditional day-night cycle.

This review presents contemporary data on the biological effects of geomagnetic activity. Correlations between geomagnetic indices and biological parameters and experimental studies that used simulated geomagnetic storms to detect possible responses of organisms to these events in nature are discussed. Possible mechanisms by which geomagnetic activity influences organisms are also considered.
