โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Handling disturbances alone repeated daily for ten days caused marked changes in the fat stores of a fish, Fundulus chrysotus, a lizard, Anolis carolinensis, a quail, Coturnix c. japonica, and a mouse, Mus musculus. Repeated handling also caused changes in the weights of the male reproductive organs in the lizard and mouse. Whether the effects of handling were stimulatory, inhibitory, or of no effect depended on the time of the disturbance with respect to a daily 16โhour photoperiod. The results should serve as a warning to investigators in many areas in which experimental subjects are handled in one way or another at the same time each day.

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
