Controversial aspects of diapause development
Although some parts of diapause development have been clarified up by endocrinologists, knowledge of the underlying processes remains insufficient.

Disruption of insect diapause using agonists and an antagonist of diapause hormone [PDF]
The dormant state known as diapause is widely exploited by insects to circumvent winter and other adverse seasons. For an insect to survive, feed, and reproduce at the appropriate time of year requires fine coordination of the timing of entry into and exit from diapause.

Hormonal Regulation of Diapause and Development in Nematodes, Insects, and Fishes
Diapause is a state of developmental arrest adopted in response to or in anticipation of environmental conditions that are unfavorable for growth. In many cases, diapause is facultative, such that animals may undergo either a diapause or a non-diapause ...

The beet webworm (Loxostege sticticalis L.) is an important agricultural pest and can tolerate harsh environmental conditions by entering diapause. The diapause mechanism of beet webworm is unknown.

Maternal silkworms (Bombyx mori) of bivoltine strains are destined to produce either diapause or non-diapause eggs depending on environmental factors, such as, temperature and photoperiod experienced during the egg and larval stages.

Temperature-induced embryonic diapause in chickens is mediated by PKC-NF-κB-IRF1 signaling
Background Embryonic diapause (dormancy) is a state of temporary arrest of embryonic development that is triggered by unfavorable conditions and serves as an evolutionary strategy to ensure reproductive survival.

Environmental impacts on diapause and survival of the alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata.
Megachile rotundata exhibits a facultative prepupal diapause but the cues regulating diapause initiation are not well understood. Possible cues include daylength and temperature. Megachile rotundata females experience changing daylengths over the nesting

Endocrine Regulation of Lifespan in Insect Diapause
Diapause is a physiological adaptation to conditions that are unfavorable for growth or reproduction. During diapause, animals become long-lived, stress-resistant, developmentally static, and non-reproductive, in the case of diapausing adults.

Molecular signatures of diapause in the Asian longhorned beetle: Gene expression
Most previous studies on gene expression during insect diapause do not address among-tissue variation in physiological processes. We measured transcriptomic changes during larval diapause in the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis ...

Deciphering proteomic signatures of early diapause in Nasonia. [PDF]
Insect diapause is an alternative life-history strategy used to increase longevity and survival in harsh environmental conditions. Even though some aspects of diapause are well investigated, broader scale studies that elucidate the global metabolic ...
