Summary
This thesis investigates physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying seasonal adaptations in voles, with relevance to how light-dark cycles drive biological timing across species. While focused on animal ecology and evolutionary biology, the findings have limited direct application to human lighting design or healthcare.
