Short-wavelength light guides many behaviors that are crucial for an insect's survival. In <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, short-wavelength light induces both attraction and avoidance behaviors. How light cues evoke two opposite valences of behavioral responses remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively examine the effects of (1) light intensity, (2) timing of light (duration of exposure, circadian time of day), and (3) phototransduction mechanisms processing light information that determine avoi ...[more]
