Abstract

The dynamics of body temperature was used to determine the food intake synchronization in starlings located at a distance of 105 km from each other. Thermal accumulators were implanted intraperitoneally to the birds; the birds had free access to food or were kept under the conditions of food deprivation. It was found that food intake moments significantly more often coincided with an accuracy of up to a minute even in the birds separated by a considerable distance. The difference in time of sunrise of a few minutes, as well as the conditions of constant lighting did not affect the synchronism of food intake. On the basis of the data obtained, it can be assumed that there is a certain external factor, probably of an electromagnetic nature, which synchronizes the functional activity of the body, including food intake.

彼此隔离条件下Star鸟（寻常八哥）中同步食物摄入的现象。

摘要

体温的变化被用于确定相距105 km的star鸟的食物摄入同步性。将蓄热器腹膜内植入家禽。这些鸟可以自由获取食物，或被限制在食物匮乏的条件下。人们发现，即使在相隔相当远的距离的家禽中，进食时刻的发生频率也往往高达一分钟。几分钟的日出时间差异以及持续照明的条件不会影响食物摄入的同步性。根据获得的数据，可以假定存在某种外部因素，可能具有电磁性，该因素可以使人体的功能活动（包括食物摄入）同步化。
