Fruit flies of the subgenera Drosophila, Siphlodora and Sophophora use different mechanisms to adapt their daily activity to long photoperiods

The paper examines how circadian clock plasticity varies with latitude in 52 Drosophila species, finding distinct mechanisms in different subgenera.

The circadian clock is required for rhythmic lipid transport in the Drosophila hemolymph in interaction with diet, photic condition and feeding

The paper shows that the circadian clock regulates rhythmic lipid transport in Drosophila hemolymph, influenced by diet, light, and feeding patterns.
