Summary A freerunning rhythm of locomotor activity was observed between hibernation bouts in Turkish hamsters (Mesocricetus brandti) kept in 10L:14D light-dark cycles at 10±1°C. The data further indicate an influence of natural hypothermia upon the circadian system and its ability to entrain to light-dark cycles.
