1. The daily torpor was measured by oxygen uptake in Djungarian hamsters during adaptation to a short photoperiod (SP: 10L, 14D) at 20 degrees C. In these constant conditions the torpor presented metabolic characteristics and a daily time course independent of the duration of adaptations to SP. 2. T

In Phodopus sungorus spontaneous shallow daily torpor occurred only during winter. Frequency of torpor was not affected by low ambient temperature but the seasonal cueing seems primarily dependent on photoperiodic control. Maximum torpor frequency was found in January with 30% of all hamsters living

Body weight, food intake, pelage color, and testis size in Djungarian hamsters are known to show annual cycles. To analyze the environmental factors that control the annual cycle of these physiological parameters, we performed an experiment with four combinations of photoperiods and temperatures (lo
