摘要：

Marked diurnal rhythms of pituitary prolactin content occur both in May and in August. However, the phase of the rhythm with respect to the photoperiod differs at the two seasons. In May, the peak occurs at noon, but in August it occurs at midnight. It is concluded that the time of the diurnal release of pituitary prolactin is an important regulator of seasonal physiological and behavioral conditions in the White-throated Sparrow. © 1969.
