## Abstract The effects of hibernation and 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 weeks of coldβexposure (5 Β± 1Β° C) were studied on the testes of 100 adult, male hamsters (__Mesocrietus auratus__, Waterhouse), having initial body weights of 80 to 100 gm. Half of these animals were maintained on an eightβhour p

## 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
The testes of adult hamsters maintained in short daily photoperiods (1ight:dark [LD] cycles of 1:23, in hours) undergo regression within ten weeks and spontaneous regeneration within about 30 weeks. Thereafter (at least up to 80 weeks), as long as these animals are kept in short photoperiods the gon
## Abstract Testes and accessory sex organs (seminal vesicles and coagulating glands) of hamsters exposed to natural lighting (NL) conditions beginning September 22 underwent complete degeneration by October 31. The following February the testes began to regrow with the regeneration being complete
## Abstract Brine shrimp, __Artemia__, exhibit two modes of reproduction: __oviparity__ (diapause cyst production) and __ovoviviparity__ (live larvae release). Environmental conditions determining these developmental routes are poorly understood, so we investigated the effects of photoperiod and te
