Controversial aspects of diapause development
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 Although some parts of diapause development have been clarified up by endocrinologists, knowledge of the underlying processes remains insufficient.

Insects, 2019 Diapause control is one of the successful methods for long-term cold storage of biological control organisms without decreasing their fitness. Sufficient preparation before diapause is essential for successful diapause initiation and maintenance ...

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2022 Diapause is a long-lived stage which has evolved into an important strategy for insects to circumvent extreme environments. In the pupal stage, Helicoverpa armigera can enter diapause, a state characterized by significantly decreased metabolic activity ...

The enigma of embryonic diapause [PDF]
Development, 2017 Embryonic diapause – a period of embryonic suspension at the blastocyst stage – is a fascinating phenomenon that occurs in over 130 species of mammals, ranging from bears and badgers to mice and marsupials. It might even occur in humans. During diapause, there is minimal cell division and greatly reduced metabolism, and development is put on hold.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L., a predatory insect, serves as an excellent biological control agent against common agricultural pests. It undergoes a diapause phenomenon, during which a large amount of fat accumulates in the abdomen.

Photoperiodism and Diapause in Insects [PDF]
Nature, 1949 DURING the past five years, work has been in progress at Rothamsted on rearing in the laboratory a number of plant-feeding insects. One of the aims has been to maintain supplies of insects in large numbers throughout the year. This has necessitated a study of the factors affecting diapause, the quiescent phase in which most plant-feeding insect species

Molecular Regulators of Embryonic Diapause and Cancer Diapause-like State
Cells, 2022 Embryonic diapause is an enigmatic state of dormancy that interrupts the normally tight connection between developmental stages and time. This reproductive strategy and state of suspended development occurs in mice, bears, roe deer, and over 130 other mammals and favors the survival of newborns.

Steroid hormone ecdysone deficiency stimulates preparation for photoperiodic reproductive diapause.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Diapause, a programmed developmental arrest primarily induced by seasonal environmental changes, is very common in the animal kingdom, and found in vertebrates and invertebrates alike.

Regulation of diapause in carnivores [PDF]
Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2016 ContentsEmbryonic diapause is an evolutionary strategy to ensure that offspring are born when maternal and environmental conditions are optimal for survival. In many species of carnivores, obligate embryonic diapause occurs in every gestation. In mustelids, the regulation of diapause and reactivation is influenced by photoperiod, which then acts to ...
