	abstract = {We report differences in the length of a specific region of the circadian clock gene period (per) that correlate with different capacities for pupal diapause in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga bullata. The conspicuous difference is located in a region we refer to as the putative C-terminal photoperiodic (CP) region. The length of the CP region correlates inversely with the incidence of diapause. A deletion of 33 amino acids in this region correlates with a significant increase in the incidence of diapause, from 78.1\% to 93.0\%, and an insertion of 9 amino acids in the same area correlates with a drop in the diapause incidence to 4.0\%. This correlation suggests a possible functional role for this region of per in photoperiodism.},
