89% Informative

A study by the University of Lausanne looks at the ability of Drosophila to adapt to fluctuations in day length.

Day length is a factor that fluctuates according to season and latitude.

The molecular mechanisms of behavioral plasticity remain poorly understood.

The work could inspire the exploration of other forms of behavior involving other cellular and molecular mechanisms.
