Zusammenfassung

Bei gefangengehaltenen Männchen der Ammer (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) rief eine im Februar und März künstlich erhöhte Umgebungstemperatur nächtliche Aktivität hervor. Die Durchschnittsdauer der diurnischen Aktivität ähnelte derjenigen einer bei normaler Aussentemperatur mit 15 Stunden Licht täglich behandelten Gruppe. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass im Mechanismus der durch Licht stimulierten Hodenentwicklung die Bewegungssteigerung keine Rolle spielt.
