Schematic depiction of experimental design. Larvae of Chymomyza costata were sampled on day 3 of their 3rd instar, which corresponds to the stage of maximum sensitivity to photoperiodic signal [54]. Larvae were exposed to different photoperiodic conditions: constant Long Days (LD) since embryonic stage promoting direct development to pupa (pupariation on day 10 in average); constant Short Days (SD) since embryonic stage inducing larval diapause (initiated between days 10 and 40); and Transfer (T) from LD to SD switching the direct development to diapause. The samples were taken at two Zeitgeber times in each photoperiodic conditions (i.e. LD1 and LD13; SD1 and SD17; T13 and T17). See text for more explanations
