Abstract

Phase shifting and abolishing the circadian oscillation which controls eclosion inDrosophila pseudoobscura does not shorten the life of the flies and does not impair eclosion out of the puparium. However, the activity rhythm of the flies is controlled by a circadian oscillator which differs in period length, sensitivity to light and other features from the one controlling eclosion. Therefore, perturbing the oscillation controlling eclosion does not necessarily imply a corresponding perturbation of the oscillation controlling activity.
