Life between Clocks: Daily Temporal Patterns of Human Chronotypes

Till Roenneberg, Anna Wirz‐Justice, Martha Merrow · 1 Feb 2003

Human behavior shows large interindividual variation in temporal organization. Extreme "larks" wake up when extreme "owls" fall asleep. These chronotypes are attributed to differences in the circadian clock, and in animals, the genetic basis of similar phenotypic differences is well established. To better understand the genetic basis of temporal organization in humans, the authors developed…

Sleep Homeostasis and Models of Sleep Regulation

Alexander A. Borb, Peter Achermann · 1 Dec 1999

According to the two-process model of sleep regulation, the timing and structure of sleep are determined by the interaction of a homeostatic and a circadian process. The original qualitative model was elaborated to quantitative versions that included the ultradian dynamics of sleep in relation to the non-REM-REM sleep cycle. The time course of EEG slow-wave…

JTK_CYCLE: An Efficient Nonparametric Algorithm for Detecting Rhythmic Components in Genome-Scale Data Sets

Michael E. Hughes, John B. Hogenesch, Karl Kornacker · 28 Sep 2010

Circadian rhythms are oscillations of physiology, behavior, and metabolism that have period lengths near 24 hours. In several model organisms and humans, circadian clock genes have been characterized and found to be transcription factors. Because of this, researchers have used microarrays to characterize global regulation of gene expression and algorithmic approaches to detect cycling. This…

Photoperiodic Control of Seasonality in Birds

Alistair Dawson, Verdun M. King, George E. Bentley et al. · 1 Aug 2001

This review examines how birds use the annual cycle in photoperiod to ensure that seasonal events--breeding, molt, and song production--happen at the appropriate time of year. Differences in breeding strategies between birds and mammals reflect basic differences in biology. Avian breeding seasons tend to be of shorter duration and more asymmetric with respect to changes…

Mammalian Photoperiodic System: Formal Properties and Neuroendocrine Mechanisms of Photoperiodic Time Measurement

Bruce D. Goldman · 1 Aug 2001

Photoperiodism is a process whereby organisms are able to use both absolute measures of day length and the direction of day length change as a basis for regulating seasonal changes in physiology and behavior. The use of day length cues allows organisms to essentially track time-of-year and to "anticipate" relatively predictable annual variations in important…

Journal of Biological Rhythms template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Biological Rhythms format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Biological Rhythms template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Biological Rhythms use?
Journal of Biological Rhythms uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Biological Rhythms, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Biological Rhythms?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready Journal of Biological Rhythms document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Biological Rhythms template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Biological Rhythms format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Biological Rhythms?
Journal of Biological Rhythms is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's Journal of Biological Rhythms template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Biological Rhythms PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Biological Rhythms template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Biological Rhythms template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Biological Rhythms template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Biological Rhythms PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
