Resonating circadian clocks enhance fitness in cyanobacteria
TL;DR: This work tested the adaptive significance of circadian programming by measuring the relative fitness under competition between various strains of cyanobacteria expressing different circadian periods and found strains that had a circadian period similar to that of the light/dark cycle were favored under competition in a manner that indicates the action of soft selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Adaptive Value of Circadian Clocks: An Experimental Assessment in Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: Using cyanobacterial strains with different clock properties growing in competition with each other, it is found that strains with a functioning biological clock defeat clock-disrupted strains in rhythmic environments and indicates that this adaptive value is only fulfilled in cyclic environments.
