Entrainment of a Tidal Rhythm

J. T. Enright 1

1 Department of Zoology, University of California, Los Angeles

The endogenous tidal rhythm of locomotor activity of the sandbeach isopod, Excirolana chiltoni, has been entrained in the laboratory by a device designed to simulate wave action on a beach. The essential component of the treatment appears to be mechanical stimulation by a water current.
