Circadian clocks are universally self-sustained oscillators
Annually changing daylength is sufficient to select for self-sustained oscillators
Entrainment properties (i.e. β€œtype 0” vs. β€œtype 1” resetting) affect fitness
Both daily and annual environmental cycles molded the properties of daily clocks
