Some animals exhibit increased foraging behaviour during the matutinal hours. These points may apply to how matutinal mating is adaptive in other species. It consists of the Gospel, a menology, and ends with matutinal gospels. These matutinal behaviours may be induced by physiological adaptations. Some animals engage in matutinal searching flights to find mates early in the morning. A related term is matutinal, referring to activity limited to the dawn twilight.
