Actually, he did research on both oysters and crabs, as well as other
organisms. The literature of chronobiology has quite a lot of work on
many creatures. I would think the oyster work would be more compelling
because they have less complex cycle interactions than fiddler crabs.
With crabs, for example, one has to be more careful not to confuse a
circadian reentrainment of the lunar (tide) day of 24.8 hours to 24
hours when the effects of tides are removed in a laboratory
environment. This can appear to be a change in the lunar cycle, and
one has to look for an extended time (to get stats) to be sure. As I
recall, Dr. Brown did control for all plausible exogenous variables
except gravity.
However, because of their added complexity, crabs have been more
popular in research. Perhaps that is why they were mentioned in your
book.

I have read in this area. If you have a mechanism by which oysters can
move the stock market in a predictable manner, it is probably of
interest to this list.
I have been trying to stick to a *very* specific topic, and you have
tried *repeatedly* to point the discussion in directions of no
interest to this list. Let's stick ONLY to things that are directly
useful to traders, please.
It is beginning to seem as though you use topic changes and
distractions to avoid answering questions. I suppose after the fifth,
or eighth, or twentieth time, the asker will give up. What say we get
a resolution to the very narrow topic and end this thread?
