On the relevance of using laboratory selection to study the adaptive value of circadian clocks
L Abhilash, VK Sharma - Physiological Entomology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The phrase 'as sure as night comes after day'highlights the most conspicuous phenomenon
on earth (ie the daily cycling of geophysical factors). It is hypothesized that life‐forms on …

Drosophila Populations Reared Under Tropical Semi-natural Conditions Evolve Season-dependent Differences in Timing of Eclosion
Circadian clocks are considered an evolutionary adaptation to environmental cycles,
helping organisms to adapt to daily and seasonal changes. However, most studies on the …

Role of Temperature in Mediating Morning and Evening Emergence Chronotypes in Fruit Flies Drosophila melanogaster
Following decades of research under controlled laboratory conditions, there has been
growing interest in the recent past to study circadian rhythms in nature. Recent studies …

Natural conditions override differences in emergence rhythm among closely related drosophilids
Previous studies on adult emergence rhythm of Drosophila melanogaster (DM) done under
semi-natural conditions have shown that emergence is correlated to daily changes in …

Selection for Timing of Eclosion Results in Co-evolution of Temperature Responsiveness in Drosophila melanogaster
Circadian rhythms in adult eclosion of Drosophila are postulated to be regulated by a pair of
coupled oscillators: one is the master clock that is light sensitive and temperature …

Evidence for Co-Evolution of Masking With Circadian Phase in Drosophila Melanogaster
Heritable variation in the timing of rhythmic events with respect to daily time cues gives rise
to chronotypes. Despite its importance, the mechanisms (clock or non-clock) regulating …
