Semilunar Reproductive Cycles in Fundulus Heteroclitus (pisces: Cyprinodontidae) in an Area without Lunar Tidal Cycles
Although lunar spawning rhythms are relatively common in species of shallow-water fish, semilunar reproductive cycles have been reported in a small but growing number of species (Korringa 1947; Johannes 1978). Species with the best documented semilunar gonad and spawning cycles include the California grunion. LeurestMs tenuis, (Clark 1925); Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia, (Middaugh 1981)...
متن کاملRange of entrainment of rat circadian rhythms to sinusoidal light-intensity cycles.
The range of entrainment of the circadian behavioral rhythm was compared between two groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (each n = 10) exposed to daily cycles of rectangular light-dark alternation (LD) and sinusoidal fluctuations of light intensity (SINE), respectively. The maximum illuminance (20 lx), the minimum illuminance (0.01 lx), and the total amount of light exposure per cycle were the same u...
متن کاملEntrainment of circadian rhythms to irregular light/dark cycles: a subterranean perspective
Synchronization of biological rhythms to the 24-hour day/night has long been studied with model organisms, under artificial light/dark cycles in the laboratory. The commonly used rectangular light/dark cycles, comprising hours of continuous light and darkness, may not be representative of the natural light exposure for most species, including humans. Subterranean rodents live in dark undergroun...
متن کاملNeural Entrainment to Auditory Imagery of Rhythms
A method of reconstructing perceived or imagined music by analyzing brain activity has not yet been established. As a first step toward developing such a method, we aimed to reconstruct the imagery of rhythm, which is one element of music. It has been reported that a periodic electroencephalogram (EEG) response is elicited while a human imagines a binary or ternary meter on a musical beat. Howe...
متن کاملEntrainment of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat Fibroblasts by Temperature Cycles
The functional state of the circadian system of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) differs in several characteristics from the functional state of normotensive Wistar rats. Some of these changes might be due to the compromised ability of the central pacemaker to entrain the peripheral clocks. Daily body temperature cycles represent one of the important cues responsible for the integrity of t...
