Circadian rhythms are based on cell-autonomous, auto-regulatory feedback loops formed by interlocked positive and negative arms, and they regulate myriad molecular and cellular processes in most eukaryotes, including fungi. Intracellular calcium signaling is also a process that impacts a broad range of biological events in most eukaryotes.
