Variable thermal sensitivity as output of a circadian clock controlling the bimodal rhythm of temperature choice in the ant Camponotus mus

Along a thermal gradient and under a LD 12:12 h cycle, nurse workers of the ant Camponotus mus select for the brood two different temperatures daily: 30.8°C at the middle of the light period (circadian phase = 90°), and 27.5°C 8 h later, during the dark period (CP = 210°). Brood-carrying activity pr...

Ant Camponotus Circadian rhythm Temperature Thermal sensitivity Camponotus mus Along a thermal gradient and under a LD 12:12 h cycle, nurse workers of the ant Camponotus mus select for the brood two different temperatures daily: 30.8°C at the middle of the light period (circadian phase = 90°), and 27.5°C 8 h later, during the dark period (CP = 210°).
