Abstract

Daily fluctuations in warm (30°C) and cold (20°C) temperatures have different effects on fat stores and gonad weights of male Anolis carolinensis than constant warm or cold temperatures; and the effects vary depending on the phase relations of the daily thermoperiod with a daily photoperiod. In addition there is a seasonal change in the thermoperiod‐photoperiod interaction. For example an 8‐hour interval of warm temperature beginning eight hours after the onset of a 6‐hour daily photoperiod during July is more stimulatory for testicular weights than similar intervals of warm temperature beginning at 0 or 16 hours after the onset of light, but it is less stimulatory in October. The results suggest that the interaction of thermoperiodic and photoperiodic cycles may have important roles in regulating the annual cycles of reproduction and lipid metabolism.

## Abstract A circadian rhythm of thermosensitivity is set by a photoperiodic schedule (LD 12:60) in lizards at 20°C so that the coincidence of 6‐hour thermoperiods (30° C) with a thermosensitive phase is stimulatory for fattening. The thermosensitive phase reoccurs every 24 hours. Thermoperiodism

Male green anole lizards, Anolis carolinensis, were kept for 22 days on one of five temperature regimes: constant 20"C, constant 30"C, or a thermoperiod (8 h at 30°C, 16 h at 20°C) with heat onset at 0, 8, or 16 h after light onset. Groups of animals on each temperature regime were sacrificed a t on
