Abstract excerpt
Inbred strains of golden hamsters differ in both the free-running period of the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity in constant darkness, and in the phase angle of entrainment of activity to a 14L:10D cycle. To determine whether these differences in circadian entrainment affect photoperiodic time measurement, we measured the critical photoperiod for maintaining testicular function as well as the rate of...
