Natural variation in the Drosophila melanogaster clock gene period modulates splicing of its 3'-terminal intron and mid-day siesta.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Low Kwang Huei, Chen Wen-Feng, Yildirim Evrim, Edery Isaac

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster exhibits circadian (≅24 hr) regulated morning and evening bouts of activity that are separated by a mid-day siesta. Increases in daily ambient temperature are accompanied by a progressively longer mid-day siesta and delayed evening activity. Presumably, this behavioral plasticity reflects an adaptive response that endows D. melanogaster with the ability to temporally optimize daily...
