Effect of ambient temperature on the circadian activity rhythm in common marmosets, Callithrix j. jacchus (Primates)

Abstract

Various ambient temperature within the range 20-30°C does not systematic effect on the entrained circadian rhythms in common marmosets, whereas the free-running activity was affected. Trapezoidal temperature cycle strongly affects circadian timing systein a different manner.

Temperature pulses does not result in specific responses of the circadian system.
