## Abstract The influence of light on fur growth and reproduction in the mink has been investigated. Exposure of kits and adults to 4L/20D (4 light hours/20 dark hours) after completion of the summer furring cycle accelerated the development of the winter pelage. Gradually increasing the length of
## Abstract Male Rosefinches, previously treated with short days (8L: 16D), were held under six different light regimes (resonance light cycles) in which a main 6‐hr photophase was combined with varying durations of scotophases (6L/6(2n + l)D)L, light phase; D, dark phase; n, number of multiples of
Although pinealectomy or blinding resulted in loss of the clarity of the free-running rhythm of locomotor activity and body temperature and reduced the peak level of circulating melatonin rhythms to approximately a half in intact pigeons, neither pinealectomy nor blinding abolished any of these rhyt
Circadian levels of melatonin (M) were determined in plasma of four male white-tailed deer sampled hourly in September for 24 h via indwelling jugular catheter. Concentrations of M, detected by the radioimmunoassay rise with the onset of darkness, peak at 1.00 h (265 pg/ml) and then quickly decline
