Moonlight detection by Drosophila's endogenous clock depends on multiple photopigments in the compound eyes.

Journal of biological rhythms - 1 Apr 2014

Schlichting Matthias, Grebler Rudi, Peschel Nicolai, Yoshii Taishi, Helfrich-Förster Charlotte

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms change their activity on moonlit nights. Even the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster responds to moonlight with a shift of activity into the night, at least under laboratory conditions. The compound eyes have been shown to be essential for the perception of moonlight, but it is unkn...
