Selection for the Timing of Adult Emergence Leads to Evolution in the Molecular Circadian Clock and Its Light Input Pathway in Drosophila melanogaster Populations.

The light input pathways and the molecular clock are tightly linked, with light serving as the most potent zeitgeber that entrains the clock to the external environment. Our present study focuses on the Drosophila melanogaster populations that have e…
