Eglinton Crosstown LRT ‘Good for Now,’ Commuters Say

|
By Andrew Oliphant
| The Grind Magazine
It’s usually hard to find good news about Toronto transit. But the Feb. 8 opening of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) was reason to celebrate, even if it took over 15 years of construction, including six years of delays. The 19-kilometre Line 5 has the capacity to move 123,000 people a week. It can take you from Mount Dennis (near Weston Road) in the west to the Aga Khan Museum (beside the Don Valley Parkway) and on to shopping on Scarborough’s Golden Mile in under an hour.

Keywords circadian circatidal cryptochrome2 period timeless Bmal1 Clock protocerebrum isopod amphipod Introduction Organisms adapt to their cyclical environments through rhythms of metabolism, physiology, and behavior that are driven by internal biological clocks.1 Terrestrial environmental cycles are predominantly daily, leading to the evolution of clocks with an autonomous period of approximately 1 day (hence circa-dian) and entrained to the cycle of light and darkness.

Expression of clock genes tracks daily and tidal time in brains of intertidal crustaceans Eurydice pulchra and Parhyale hawaiensis

| BioRxiv
Abstract Intertidal organisms, such as the crustaceans Eurydice pulchra and Parhyale hawaiensis, express daily and tidal rhythms of physiology and behaviour to adapt to their temporally complex environments. Although the molecular-genetic basis of the circadian clocks driving daily rhythms in terrestrial animals is well understood, the nature and mechanism of the circatidal clocks driving tidal rhythms remain a mystery.
