Parallel clinal variation in the mid-day siesta of Drosophila melanogaster implicates continent-specific targets of natural selection

Similar to many diurnal animals, Drosophila melanogaster exhibits a mid-day siesta that is more robust as ambient temperature rises, an adaptive response aimed at minimizing exposure to heat. Mid-day siesta levels are partly regulated by the thermosensitive splicing of a small intron (termed dmpi8)...
