Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis (2020)
Journal Article
Chapman, E., Bonsor, B., Parsons, D. R., & Rotchell, J. (2020). Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis. Marine environmental research, 159, Article 104960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.104960

Clock genes and environmental cues regulate essential biological rhythms. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is an ecologically and economically important intertidal bivalve undergoing seasonal reproductive rhythms. We previously identified seasonal...

The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2019)
Thesis
Chapman, E. C. The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222565

Exposure to regular environmental oscillations such as day/night have allowed organisms to evolve biological mechanisms to adaptively anticipate and prepare for rhythmic environmental change. A network of gene-protein interactions between clock genes... Read More about The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

Seasonal expression patterns of clock-associated genes in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2017)
Journal Article
Chapman, E. C., O’Dell, A. R., Meligi, N. M., Parsons, D. R., & Rotchell, J. M. (2017). Seasonal expression patterns of clock-associated genes in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. Chronobiology International, 34(9), 1300-1314. https://doi.org/10.1080/07420528.2017.1363224

Environmental cues allow organisms to synchronise their internal biological rhythms with external environmental cycles. These rhythms are regulated on a molecular level by oscillating interactions between clock genes and their proteins. Light is a pa...
