Evidence of a circadiam clock mechanism was found in the cave crayfish, Orconectes pellucidus, even though it is blind and has been isolated from daiIy cycles for at least 25,000 generations. Five of seven crayfish tested under cave conditions of continuous darkness and 13°C showed apparent rhythms

In this paper we attack the problem of understanding the localization of the main structures involved in the motor circadian rhythm of crayfish by analysing its ontogeny. We present experimental results giving the properties of this rhythm in young and adult crayfish. Then we construct a mathematica
## Abstract Sinus gland participation on the phase relationship between the circadian rhythms of the response to light (electroretinogram, ERG) of the visual photoreceptors in the crayfish was studied. Chronic ERG recordings were simultaneously obtained from both eyestalks in intact and sinus‐gland
The diurnal rhythm in the circulating serum levels of erythropoietin (EPO) were determined in a group of 20 adult clinically-healthy subjects, in a group of 10 patients with myeloma without renal impairment and 10 patients with myeloma and renal failure. Venous blood samples were drawn during the sp
