Involvement of the circadian system in photoperiodic control of pubertal development in female deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus

J M Whitsett et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Pubertal development in female deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus, was stimulated by exposure to light cycles of LD 16:8, LD 6:30 or LD 6:54, but not by exposure to cycles of LD 6:18 or LD 6:42. These results support the hypothesis that female deer mice use a circadian rhythm of responsiveness to light to measure photoperiodic time.
