  11. I have several students who wish to determine whether there are
  12. annual or lunar-monthly cycles in various biological variables.
  13. I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to test for
  14. periodicity, and in particular any recent references on this sort
  15. of analysis. I've found references from the 70's and early 80's,
  16. e.g. by Batschelet and Bliss, but wonder whether there is anything
  17. newer.
  18.  
  19. Thanks for any and all help.
