Table 1.

Data representing the average daily activity per fly, the percentage of rhythmic flies, the strength of the rhythm exhibited by rhythmic flies, the period of rhythm (in constant darkness −DD) and the number of individuals of a genotype tested. Average daily activity was computed as beam crossings in 15 min bins over 3 days of LD cycles (see Materials and Methods Section 2.5 for more details). Values with different superscripts are significantly different at p<0.05 in a column (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test). Data are represented as mean ± SD.
