Abstract excerpt
Rearing Drosophila melanogaster in constant darkness (DD) for multiple generations disrupts the circadian activity rhythm of adults. In order to determine under what conditions normal rhythms can be initiated, DD-reared Drosophila (either the wild type or the periodshort [pers] mutant) were exposed to light either as embryos, third-instar larvae, or adults. Exposing DD-reared flies to light as embryos or larvae...
