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 کاملCircadian Clock Gene Expression in the Coral Favia fragum over Diel and Lunar Reproductive Cycles
Natural light cycles synchronize behavioral and physiological cycles over varying time periods in both plants and animals. Many scleractinian corals exhibit diel cycles of polyp expansion and contraction entrained by diel sunlight patterns, and monthly cycles of spawning or planulation that correspond to lunar moonlight cycles. The molecular mechanisms for regulating such cycles are poorly unde...
متن کاملHuman Responses to the Geophysical Daily, Annual and Lunar Cycles
Collectively the daily, seasonal, lunar and tidal geophysical cycles regulate much of the temporal biology of life on Earth. The increasing isolation of human societies from these geophysical cycles, as a result of improved living conditions, high-quality nutrition and 24/7 working practices, have led many to believe that human biology functions independently of them. Yet recent studies have hi...
متن کاملSome Effects of Elasticity on Lunar Rotation
A general Hamiltonian for a rotating moon in the field of the earth is expanded in terms of parameters orienting the spin angular momentum relative to the principal axes of the moon and relative to coordinate axes fixed in the orbit plane. The effects of elastic distortion are included as modifications of the moment of inertia tensor, where the magnitude of the distortion is parameterized by th...
