2016年5月31日 · Melatonin is an essential hormone for maintaining daily rhythm and sleep in humans. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, have now discovered that it also governs the nightly migration of a plankton species from the surface to deeper waters ( Tosches et al 2016 ).

2014年9月25日 · How plankton gets jet lagged. One of the world’s largest migrations is probably driven by a hormone that governs our sleep patterns, scientists at EMBL Heidelberg have found. Every night, an increase in melatonin levels in this larva's brain makes it move away from the sea's surface. Credit: EMBL/M.A.Tosches
Melatonin and the watery beginnings of sleep | Science News
A new paper focuses in on the role of melatonin in tiny marine creatures called zooplankton. It turns out that these animals use melatonin just as much as we do, suggesting that the origins of ...
Sleep and gravity - ScienceDirect
2018年4月1日 · The sleep of various animal species has been briefly addressed in the previous paragraphs, but it is interesting to study how plants react to gravity. Plankton show a circadian cycle that is synchronised with the sun light, which is used for photosynthesis.
