ON a substratum the aggregation of amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum often occurs in pulses because the aggregation centres release the chemotactic signal periodically1,2. The signal is believed to be cyclic AMP3,4. Cyclic AMP oscillations have been observed in suspensions of aggregation competent cells of D. discoideum5. Since circadian rhythms are largely compensated for temperature effects6 the temperature dependence of other biological rhythms is of general interest.
