Levels of sta- tistical significance: * P< or P<; ** P< or P< lux) in June was shorter than in August, about hrs., and the activity peaks of adults and large juveniles were narrower, at 23 (21) or 01 hrs. (Fig. 2). The youngest stage (1 + ) showed activity peaks varying from 21 to 03 hrs. and also some diurnal activity. At least three times, larvae (one each time) were even registered directly exposed to sunshine, at 11, 13 and 17 hrs. Nevertheless, on the whole, the lar- vae definitely had a nocturnal pattern. The activity period of the species again fitted very well with the (shorter) dark period. The rise in activity from 19 to 21 hrs. was always significant (P< or ) in Brook 5, both for adults/juveniles and 1+ lar- vae, as was the decline from 03 to 05 hrs (P<, , or ), and usually even 01-03 hrs. for adults and juveniles in both brooks (P<, or ). The day-to-day variation in peak activity seen at midnight was not significant. The aquarium studies In the aquarium investigations in December 1994, the ranodons also showed a definite nocturnal activity, with peak activity at 20-22, 22-00 and/or 00-02 hrs.
