1.
Morrow A, Smale L, Meek P, Lundrigan B
Brain Behav Evol . 2024 Apr; 99(3):123-143. PMID: 38569487
Introduction: Transitions in temporal niche have occurred many times over the course of mammalian evolution. These are associated with changes in sensory stimuli available to animals, particularly with visual cues,...

Montgomery T, Greenberg J, Gunson J, John K, Laubach Z, Nonnamaker E, et al.
Horm Behav . 2021 Nov; 137:105082. PMID: 34798449
Salivary hormone analyses provide a useful alternative to fecal and urinary hormone analyses in non-invasive studies of behavioral endocrinology. Here, we use saliva to assess cortisol levels in a wild...

McCormick S, Holekamp K, Smale L, Weldele M, Glickman S, Place N
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol . 2021 Oct; 14(6). PMID: 34649923
The apparent virilization of the female spotted hyena raises questions about sex differences in behavior and morphology. We review these sex differences to find a mosaic of dimorphic traits, some...
4.
Laubach Z, Greenberg J, Turner J, Montgomery T, Pioon M, Sawdy M, et al.
Nat Commun . 2021 Jul; 12(1):4398. PMID: 34285226
Studies in rodents and captive primates suggest that the early-life social environment affects future phenotype, potentially through alterations to DNA methylation. Little is known of these associations in wild animals....
5.
Yan L, Smale L, Nunez A
Eur J Neurosci . 2018 Oct; 51(1):551-566. PMID: 30269362
The temporal niche that an animal occupies includes a coordinated suite of behavioral and physiological processes that set diurnal and nocturnal animals apart. The daily rhythms of the two chronotypes...
6.
Langel J, Ikeno T, Yan L, Nunez A, Smale L
Brain Res . 2018 Aug; 1700:152-159. PMID: 30153458
Light influences the daily patterning of activity by both synchronizing internal clocks to environmental light-dark cycles and acutely modulating arousal states, a process known as masking. Masking responses are completely...
7.
Nunez A, Yan L, Smale L
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2018 Mar; 9:72. PMID: 29563894
For humans, activity during the night is correlated with multiple pathologies that may reflect a lack of harmony among components of the circadian system; however, it remains difficult to identify...

Gall A, Khacherian O, Ledbetter B, Deats S, Luck M, Smale L, et al.
Neuroscience . 2017 May; 355:225-237. PMID: 28499968
The olivary pretectal nucleus (OPT) is a midbrain structure that receives reciprocal bilateral retinal projections, is involved in the pupillary light reflex, and connects reciprocally with the intergeniculate leaflet (IGL),...
9.
Gall A, Shuboni D, Yan L, Nunez A, Smale L
J Biol Rhythms . 2016 Jan; 31(2):170-81. PMID: 26801650
The ventral subparaventricular zone (vSPVZ) receives direct retinal input and influences the daily patterning of activity in rodents, making it a likely candidate for the mediation of acute behavioral responses...
10.
Langel J, Smale L, Esquiva G, Hannibal J
Front Neuroanat . 2015 Aug; 9:93. PMID: 26236201
The direct effects of photic stimuli on behavior are very different in diurnal and nocturnal species, as light stimulates an increase in activity in the former and a decrease in...
