Synodic monthly rhythms in the Mongolian gerbil Meriones unguiculatusFootnote∗∗

This research was supported in part by an N.S.F. Graduate Trainee Fellowship and by an N.I.H. Public Health Service Fellowship, no. 1‐F01‐GM43579–01. It is based upon a portion of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in biological sciences at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.
