Diurnal rhythms are the same as circadian rhythms?
Not exactly. Circadian rhythms are a subset of diurnal rhythms. Diurnal rhythms reoccur daily and can be circadian and non-circadian. Circadian rhythms can be set by the environment (entrainment), but are not dependent on environment stimulus for continuation (free-running) (ie. hormone secretion). Non-circadian rhythms are responsive to the environment, but still operate on a daily cycle (ie. the process of photosynthesis).
What animals are circadian rhythms?
Circadian can be translated as 'about' (circa), 'daily' (dian). Almost animals I can think of (plants, too) are responsive to the daily light/dark cycle of the sun, hence 'circadian'.
