Food-Entrainable Oscillators in Mammals

  • Chapter
Circadian Clocks

Part of the book series: Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology ((HBNE,volume 12))

Abstract

In the battle against entropy, living organisms require sufficient energy intake to survive long enough to reproduce. Consequently, strong selective pressures must have shaped efficient feeding strategies. For foraging omnivores and carnivores, some food sources may be available only during temporal windows within the day and these may change during seasons. For herbivores, food sources are more constant on a daily basis, but it may be advantageous to feed only at certain times of day to avoid predators. Thus, the time of food availability and the time of feeding can be important factors in survival. In addition to relying on external geophysical cues, animals can use endogenous circadian clocks to generate optimal temporal patterns of behavior, including feeding. The purpose of this chapter is to present evidence that many mammals have a separate circadian clock system that responds to food, rather than to light, as a zeitgeber.
