  2. Drosophila circadian rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_circadian_rhythm

    First, the light activates the cry gene in the clock neurons. Although CRY is produced deep inside the brain, it is sensitive to UV and blue light, and thus it easily signals the brain cells the onset of light. It irreversibly and directly binds to TIM causing it to break down through proteosome-dependent ubiquitin-mediated degradation.

  3. Drosophila melanogaster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila_melanogaster

    Light conditions during development affect daily activity patterns in Drosophila melanogaster, where flies raised under constant dark or light are less active as adults than those raised under a 12-hour light/dark cycle. [96] Temperature is one of the most pervasive factors influencing arthropod development.

  4. Light effects on circadian rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_effects_on_circadian...

    The length of light exposure influences entrainment. Longer exposures have a greater effect than shorter exposures. [12] Consistent light exposure has a greater effect than intermittent exposure. [14] In rats, constant light eventually disrupts the cycle to the point that memory and stress coping may be impaired. [15]

  5. Drosophilidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophilidae

    The Drosophilidae are a diverse, cosmopolitan family of flies, which includes species called fruit flies, although they are more accurately referred to as vinegar or pomace flies. [1] Another distantly related family of flies, Tephritidae , are true fruit flies because they are frugivorous, and include apple maggot flies and many pests.

  6. Sleep in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_in_animals

    A common method is to let the flies choose whether they want to fly through a tunnel that leads to a light source, or through a dark tunnel. Normally, flies are attracted to light. But if sugar is placed in the end of the dark tunnel, and something the flies dislike is placed in the end of the light tunnel, the flies will eventually learn to ...

    Despite the occasional pilot informing passengers (proudly) of an intention to “make up time in the air,” people usually assume planes are going as fast as they safely can, like a speed limit ...

  8. Fruit flies in space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_flies_in_space

    Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, has been used to study the effects of spaceflight on living organisms.. On a July 9, 1946, suborbital V-2 rocket flight, fruit flies became the first living and sentient [citation needed] [] organisms to go to space, and on February 20, 1947, fruit flies safely returned from a suborbital space flight, which paved the way for human exploration.

    Relative velocity time dilation is where time moves slower as you move faster. The classic example of this is the twin scenario . One twin blasts off in a spaceship traveling close to the speed of ...
