Abstract
It is becoming increasingly apparent, especially from studies of biological rhythmicity and animal orientations in space, that living things are sensitively responsive to physical factors of their environment above and beyond those commonly recognized as effective ones. Certain readily demonstrable properties related to the timing and phasing of persistent biological rhythms and to animal homing abilities appear to defy plausible explanation solely in terms of conventional physiological responses and reactions.
