to sunrise In the life sciences, matutinal, matinal (in entomology), or matutine animals are active around morning twilight, when they scan for mates, mate, and forage. Matutinal and vespertine behaviors are the morning and evening aspects of crepuscular activity. Matutinal behaviour is likely adaptive because at those times, there may be less inter-species competition and higher availability of food. It may also protect animals by avoiding diurnal and nocturnal predators.
