Jet-Lagged Plants and Fish who build sandcastles to attract mates. It's Biology After Dark!

Do Plants Get Jet-Lagged?

Dr Katharine Hubbard (Lecturer - The University of Hull)

Your internal clock influences most of your bodily functions, but it also means you’re susceptible to jet-lag. Katharine Hubbard explores why this phenomenon happens, the similarities between human and plant circadian clocks, and how we can use this knowledge to increase food production on Earth and beyond.

The Underwater World of Fish Sex

Dr Domino Joyce (Senior Lecturer - The University of Hull)

Much like us, animals make relationship decisions based upon attraction. Understanding how these decisions are made is fundamental to understanding how species evolve. Domino Joyce has been studying a type of fish that attracts mates by building sand castles on the lake floor.
