摘要: AbstractIt is assumed that the response of regulatory system mammal activity depends on changes in light intensity throughout 24-h cycle. The aim this study was to determine whether moon luminosity cycle exerts an effect locomotor Mexican wolf (C. lupus baileyi). Data collection carried out with actimetry, 11 individuals were analyzed using ANOVA lunar Significant differences encountered between phases (p = 0.001), a decrement during new and full moon. However, effects dependent also age daylight period. On other hand, it possible regulation pattern by periodicity. This periodicity needs more detailed examination its adaptive function.
