Abstract
Voles exposed to long photoperiods (16L[light]:8D[dark]) from birth became sexually mature at 40-45 days and remained so up to the end of the experiment at 6 mo. of age. In short photoperiods development was inhibited up to 60 days but the majority of males became sexually mature between 4 and 6 mo. of age.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
