OPUS - Saisonale Rhythmen und ihre Synchronisation beim Europäischen Feldhamster (Cricetus cricetus) - Monecke, Stefanie
Das Verbreitungsgebiet des Europäischen Feldhamsters (Cricetus cricetus) erstreckt sich über die gemäßigten Zonen Eurasiens und ist durch dramatische saisonale Veränderungen im Klima, der Vergetation und der Futterverfügbarkeit gekennzeichnet.
Stattdessen korrelieren sie stark mit der Periode des jährlichen Zyklus, in der die Tiere sensitiv auf Kurztaginformationen reagieren (Saboureau et al., 1999) und sie könnten daher einen spezifischen Status des circadianen Schrittmachersystems widerspiegeln.
