between temperature- or light-induced phase shifts in cycles of photoperiodic responsiveness and simultaneous phase shifts of other processes which are under control of the circadian clock. Using the circadian clock is a common feature of photoperiodism in plants and animals. This clock controls quantitative and

Seasonal or photoperiodically sensitive animals respond to altered day length with changes in physiology (growth, food intake and reproductive status) and behaviour to adapt to predictable yearly changes in the climate. Typically, different species of hamsters, voles and sheep are the most studied animal models of
Photoperiodism in Mammals: Regulation of Nonreproductive Traits. Gregory E. Demas, Zachary M. Weil, and Randy J. Nelson. As noted in previous chapters, many plants and animals are exposed to annual fluctuations in the deterioration and renewal of their environments. Organisms tend to restrict energetically expensive
Animal Photoperiodism. Produced in 1970 by the Institute of Biology as part of its Studies in Biology series, this booklet looks at biological rhythms (biorhythms). These are the cyclic events which occur daily or seasonally in the lives of animals. This booklet looks at the study of the biological effects of day length. It is an
Abstract. Photoperiodism is the ability of organisms to assess and use the day length as an anticipatory cue to time seasonal events in their life histories. Photoperiodism is especially important in initiating phys- iological and developmental processes that are typically irrevocable and that culminate at a future time or at a
The routine castration of male piglets, which is performed in many countries to avoid boar taint in meat, is a cause for great concern in terms of animal welfare. Castrates also have reduced feed efficiency and more fat than do entire males. More of the ingested energy therefore goes to fat tissue than to muscle tissue. The.
Using the annual cycle of changing day length, photoperiodic animals restrict their reproductive efforts to a favorable time of year. Thus, the perception and measurement of day length are vital for
tive activity every year (for review, see Malpaux et al.,. 1993a). The response to photoperiod in mammals is not based solely on absolute day length, but also on photoperiodic history of the animals. In the ewe, 13 h of light per day cause a stimulation of luteinizing hor- mone (LH) secretion if animals have been exposed. 336.
Some Aspects of Animal Photoperiodism. A. D. LEES. Agricultural Research Council, Unit of Insect Physiology, Cambridge, England. Many animals have the ability to distinguish be- tween daily cycles of light and darkness that differ in length. This photoperiodic process is clearly one of time measurement since, in effect,
