Effects of circadian mutations and LD periodicity on the life span of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

The pervasive occurrence of circadian clocks throughout the living world underlines their adaptive value. Nonetheless, there is surprisingly little evidence for a negative impact, on any animal species, of a constant discrepancy between the environmental and endogenous periods. Male Drosophila melanogaster per mutants with altered circadian periods were compared to the wild type in two different LD schedules....
