This study shows fruit flies actively maintain circadian rhythms by shaping their environment, leading to better sleep and rhythmic behavior.

This study shows that inhibiting HSP90 in Tribolium castaneum releases a reduced-eye phenotype that alters light-dependent behaviors, suggesting evolutionary capacitance can lead to beneficial behavioral changes.

This study shows HSP83 regulates Pdf transcription in clock neurons, affecting behavioral plasticity and circadian rhythms in Drosophila under stress.

This study investigates circadian rhythms in red flour beetles, finding sex-dependent and individual variations in daily activity patterns, with males showing more robust rhythms than females.

The paper identifies receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling as a mechanism coupling the central and peripheral circadian clocks in Drosophila, showing multiple RTKs contribute to circadian rhythm synchronization.

The paper develops a method to measure circadian clocks in live Drosophila and shows that peripheral clocks can oscillate independently of the brain clock.

The paper shows that a natural allele of the timeless gene allows Drosophila to synchronize circadian clocks to temperature cycles in constant light.

This study shows that KCC and NKCC cotransporters regulate GABA responses and locomotor activity in Drosophila under constant light and long days through a feedback loop involving Wnk and Fray kinases.

This study identifies a mutation in the Drosophila period gene that affects nuclear export of the PER protein, leading to temperature-dependent changes in circadian rhythms.

The paper investigates temperature compensation in Drosophila circadian clocks, showing that peripheral oscillators overcompensate temperature changes unlike central brain clocks.

The paper shows that a slow visual phototransduction pathway contributes to circadian clock synchronization in Drosophila without requiring Cryptochrome.

The paper shows that E-neurons in Drosophila regulate evening activity peaks under both light-dark and temperature cycles, suggesting hard-wired function despite environmental changes.

The paper identifies a lineage-related reciprocal inhibition circuit in Drosophila that mediates sensory-motor action selection through competitive inhibition.
