Figure 4

Representative double-plotted wheel-running actograms of Siberian hamsters transferred in Experiment #2 from LD14:10 to LDLD7:5:7:5 and subsequently to other photocycles as noted on the left margins of actograms. Other conventions as in Figure 1. Animals in (A) and (B) demonstrated split behavior very early on in the experiment and remained split until skeleton photoperiods were introduced. The subject in (C) showed no signs of splitting until a second exposure to LDLD 9:3:9:3 and then maintained the split entrainment pattern under skeleton photoperiods. The hamster in (D) exhibited no signs of splitting at any point during the experiment.
