Courtship song in Drosophila is produced by the male''s wing vibration and consists of pulses of tone produced at intervals of approximately 34 ms in D. melanogaster and 48 ms in D. simulans. The intervals between these pulses are not constant but fluctuate rhythmically with periods of approximately 1 min in D. melanogaster and 0.5 min in D. simulans. In D. melanogaster, 3 allelic per mutations have been isolated which affect the periodicity of the circadian oscillators affecting both eclosion and locomotor activity [Konopka and Benzer, 1971]. Each of the per alleles (pers, which shortens the circadian period; perI, which lengthens it; and pero, which abolishes it) strikingly affects the 60-s song rhythm in a parallel fashion. Circadian rhythms and a very short, noncircadian oscillation appear to be influenced by the same gene.
