this is from http://artsandscience.concordia.ca/psyc200jj/Chapter_5_txt.html :
Entrainment ? Biological rhythms are synchronized with external events such as changes in clock time, temperature, and daylight.
there's that word again. 'external'.

oh hey look what I found:
The corresponding estrus cycles of some other mammals are 28 days for opossums, 11 days for guinea pigs, 16 to 17 days for sheep, 20 to 22 days for sows, 21 days for cows and mares, 24 to 26 days for macaque monkeys, 37 days for chimpanzees, and only 5 days for rats and mice.

Reinberg (1967): found that the menstrual cycle of a woman who spent 3 months in a cave shortened. Reinberg speculated that this was due to low light levels.

I call that external influence

I went to that website and this is all it said:
? Entrainment ? Biological rhythms are synchronized with external events such as changes in clock time, temperature, and daylight.
So? What's the proof, what studies? I just have to believe this because it was printed on a website somewhere?

To date, it has been shown that sexual behavior, social effects, as well as nutrition, seasonality, incarceration, and the stress of war, all contribute to the rhythm of the human cycle and subsequent fertility.
all internal factors, right? It seems that frog and I have a different definition of 'internal' and 'external'.
This is much better. Good job on finding this. When I first responded to Mix, I was just having fun with him. Then, when I saw your "attack" on me, I jumped back in because I wanted to just clear things up about what you were saying.
But now it appears I have learned something after all. 'Course, you could be less arrogant.

haha.. frog
Anyway, that's interesting what zekebomb posted about all the different cycles of the animals. Can we then conclude that we just happen to be the one on a 29.5 day cycle, that it's just coincidence? All these other animals are on close but different cycles, so maybe there's no principle at work here at all.

Actually, there were other studies done that were at the end of the studies that were posted by Zeke at the end of one of the studies that he posted. I was never in the position of saying "no way". I just hadn't seen any statistics (except what you posted) before that. But because I wanted to be sure I was wrong, I clicked at the bottom of that thread (which you also posted) and turns out there's a lot of evidence for that kind of shit.
Anyways, I don't understand "haha". I just didn't believe it until sufficient evidence was posted. But what an asshole he was, in the meantime and even when his posted looked like it was confirmed. At one point, when it looked like he was even posting behind me on anotehr thread, I finally posted him 5 shrooms, asking him to back off. I hate when someone follows me around, barking at me.

What would likely happen to the menstrual cycle if, suddenly, the moon was gone?
(Imagine some sci-fi scenario where a woman is transported to an earth-sized planet which has no moon.)
What would happen to her reproductive cycle? What about other aspects of her life?
