Water under the bridge: Aquatic environments and crepuscular-cathemeral intermediates facilitate temporal niche transitions in artiodactyls
Animals partition their sleep and activity into distinct periods of the 24-hour day cycle. These temporal activity patterns are highly conserved across species and are associated with many ecomorphological traits. Adaptations to day or night environments may act as constraints to evolutionary transitions between different activity patterns. The crepuscular-cathemeral bridge hypothesis is an…
