Deep-Sea Mussel Reveals Biological Clocks in the Abyss
A deep-sea mussel has been found to keep biological rhythms even in the abyss, where sunlight never reaches. The discovery suggests circadian clocks may be maintained without light cues, offering new insight into how life in the deep ocean regulates its internal timing. Researchers and science commentators are highlighting the finding as an unusual window into biology in one of Earth's least studied environments.
Why now: The finding challenges assumptions that biological clocks depend on light, prompting interest in deep-sea biology.
