TLDR
Social characteristics and different levels of organization (group, relationship or individual levels), in particular, should be considered when studying social influences on behavioural rhythms, and knowledge of a species' behaviour and life history may significantly improve chronobiological research.About:

Interoceptive dysfunction: toward an integrated framework for understanding somatic and affective disturbance in depression.
TL;DR: This article reviews rapidly accumulating evidence that both somatic signaling and interoception are frequently altered in depression and suggests that core symptoms of depression may be products of disturbed interoceptive-exteroceptive integration.

When the sun never sets: diverse activity rhythms under continuous daylight in free-living arctic-breeding birds
TL;DR: The results support the idea that circadian behaviour can be adaptively modified to enable species-specific time-keeping under polar conditions, and show that the free-running rhythm is synchronized between pair mates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socially synchronized circadian oscillators
TL;DR: Three model systems that are now being applied to understanding the biology of socially synchronized circadian oscillators are highlighted: the fruitfly with its powerful array of molecular genetic tools; the honeybee with its complex natural society and clear division of labour; and, at a different level of biological organization, the rodent suprachiasmatic nucleus, site of the brain's circadian clock, with its network of mutually coupled single-cell oscillators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent social synchronization can override photic entrainment of circadian rhythms
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that social time cues stably entrain the clock, even in animals experiencing conflicting photic and social environmental cycles, adding to the growing appreciation for the importance of studying circadian rhythms in ecologically relevant contexts.

In search of a temporal niche: social interactions.
TL;DR: The gregarious Nile grass rat, Arvicanthis niloticus, is introduced as a suitable model for research on social influences on temporal organization at this supra-organismal, community level.

Circadian Systems: Entrainment
TL;DR: The circadian rhythmicity of eukaroytic organisms is dictated by an innate program that specifies the time course through the day of many aspects of metabolism and behavior, and this program is subject to entrainment by one or more of the external cycles whose period it closely approximates.

Social influences on mammalian circadian rhythms: animal and human studies.
TL;DR: The role of social zeitgebers in mammalian behavioural ecology, their mechanisms of action, and their utility for manipulating circadian rhythms in humans, remains to be more fully elaborated.

Social organization and territorial behaviour in the
Peter Crowcroft,F. P. Rowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the social organization of confined groups of wild house mice has been studied by direct observation and by indirect means, and the prominent aggressive behaviour which leads to the formation of dominance-subordination relationships under certain laboratory conditions is shown to result in territory formation when suitable environmental elements are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase-shifting human circadian rhythms: influence of sleep timing, social contact and light exposure
TL;DR: The data indicate that interventions designed to phase shift human circadian rhythms for adjustment to time zone changes or altered work schedules should focus on properly timed light exposure, and support the concept that the light‐dark cycle is the most important synchronizer of the human circadian system.
