It certainly affects animal behavior - just look at grunion runs. There are all kinds of animals whose reprduction is tied to lunar cycles - including humans. Why do think Aunt Flo visits once a month? I have no doubt it affects human behavior as well - seems to be pretty well documented in emergency rooms. That tidal pull affects more than just the ocean.
As far as the werewolf thing, it always tickled me that in Inuyasha it was just the opposite. Since he was half dog-demon most of the time, he turned completely human during the dark of the moon.
