Drosophila ebony mutants have altered circadian activity rhythms but normal eclosion rhythms.

Journal of neurogenetics - 1 Feb 1991

Newby L M, Jackson F R

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila ebony mutants exhibit a syndrome of morphological and behavioral phenotypes that include an abnormally dark body color and defects in visual and courtship responses. We now show that mutants carrying any one of five ebony alleles display complex and variable locomotor activity rhythms....
