Behavioral Rhythms in Invertebrates

  • Chapter
Biological Rhythms

Abstract

Two divergent approaches have been followed in research on the rhythmicity of behavior. One has been followed by physiologists, who have measured behavior simply as an easy means of inferring the phase of the underlying driving oscillator. The other has been followed by experimental behaviorists, who have found themselves inconvenienced by diel changes in the responsiveness of their subjects. The former have had much interest in circadian processes, but little in the integration of behavior; the latter have had much interest in behavior, but little in the nature of circadian control.
