The dual-oscillator system of Drosophila melanogaster under natural-like temperature cycles.

Abstract excerpt

Dual-oscillator systems that control morning and evening activities can be found in a wide range of animals. The two coupled oscillators track dawn and dusk and flexibly adapt their phase relationship to seasonal changes. This is also true for the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster that serves as model organism to understand the molecular and anatomical bases of the dual-oscillator system. In the present study,...
