Summary
This theoretical paper bridges ecological and chronobiological perspectives on biological timekeeping, emphasizing the roles of light and melatonin in circadian entrainment and chronotype variation. While not directly focused on lighting design, it underscores the evolutionary conservation of light-driven circadian mechanisms relevant to understanding individual differences in light sensitivity and circadian responses.
