Tidal and Diurnal Rhythms of Locomotory Activity in Carcinus Maenas (L.)
Abstract
Spontaneous locomotory activity was recorded continuously for several days in Carcinus maenas (L.). A complex rhythm was observed which could be analysed into two components, one of diurnal frequency (24 hr.), with peaks of activity during the hours of darkness, and one of tidal frequency (ca. 12·4 hr.), with peaks at the time of high tide. The rhythms persist in constant dim light at constant temperatures, whether the crabs are kept moist in air or continuously immersed in sea water. The resultant effect of the two rhythms is to produce particularly high activity peaks during periods which recur with a semi-lunar frequency. Experimental results relate to observed behaviour on the shore.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
