Abstract:Various attributes of light, including the intensity, spectral composition and duration of the photophase, have been documented to have remarkable influence on all aspects of behaviour and physiology of eukaryotic experimental models. This hypothesis was investigated in the present study wherein the effects of photoperiod varying from 6 to 18 h of 24‑h light-dark (LD) cycles was examined on the lifetime fertility (i.e., the viable F1 progeny) of females of the Indian fruit fly, Drosophila biarmipes. The flies … Show more
