All phase shifts are presented as circular mean ± circular SD given in circadian hours (number of animals). Number of revolutions for all experiments is provided as mean ± SEM. Significant differences (p < 0.05) between experimental and control groups within genotype and between genotypes are indicated (* and , respectively). Where values are not provided for dupers in the modified Aschoff type II novel wheel confinement experiment, the sample size is too small for statistical analysis; see text for details. WT, wild type.
