Zusammenfassung

Die in konstanten Licht- und Temperaturbedingungen von 24 h abweichende, circadiane Aktivitätsperiodik von 3 Zeisigen und 1 Girlitz, konnte durch Artgesang, der den Tieren täglich 12 h lang in einem 24-stündigen Zyklus über Lautsprecher vorgespielt wurde, synchronisiert werden. Mit diesen Ergebnissen ist nachgewiesen, dass auch akustische (soziale) Reize als Zeitgeber wirken können.
