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

Daphnia magna diapause-interrupted embryogenesis has changes in histone modifications at H3K9 [PDF]
Epigenetics & ChromatinAs a key component of freshwater ecosystem, Daphnia survives environmental challenges by entering a state of developmental arrest known as diapause.

Endocrine Mechanisms Regulating Post-Diapause Development in the Cabbage Armyworm, Mamestra brassicae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Diapause, a programmed developmental arrest at a specific stage, is common in insects and is regulated by hormones. It is well established that in pupal diapause, cessation of ecdysteroid secretion from the prothoracic glands (PGs) after pupal ecdysis ...

A genome-wide association study implicates the olfactory system in Drosophila melanogaster diapause-associated lifespan extension and fecundity [PDF]
eLifeThe effects of environmental stress on animal life are gaining importance with climate change. Diapause is a dormancy program that occurs in response to an adverse environment, followed by resumption of development and reproduction upon the return of ...

Using diapause as a platform to understand the biology of dormancy [PDF]
Open BiologyDiapause is a fascinating form of biological dormancy that is employed by a broad array of animals as a survival strategy to endure adverse environmental conditions.

Identification of differentially expressed genes and proteins related to diapause in Lymantria dispar: Insights for the mechanism of diapause from transcriptome and proteome analyses. [PDF]
PLoS ONESpongy moth (Lymantria dispar Linnaeus) is a globally recognized quarantine leaf-eating pest. Spongy moths typically enter diapause after completing embryonic development and overwinter in the egg stage.

Molecular signatures of diapause in the Asian longhorned beetle: Gene expression
Current Research in Insect Science, 2023 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 ...

Circadian clock genes, ovarian development and diapause [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2010 Insects, like most organisms, have an internal circadian clock that oscillates with a daily rhythmicity, and a timing mechanism that mediates seasonal events, including diapause. In research published in BMC Biology, Ikeno et al. show that downregulation of the circadian clock genes period and cycle affects expression of ovarian diapause in the insect ...

Optimal low temperature and chilling period for both summer and winter diapause development in Pieris melete: based on a similar mechanism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The cabbage butterfly, Pieris melete hibernates and aestivates as a diapausing pupa. We present evidence that the optimum of low temperature and optimal chilling periods for both summer and winter diapause development are based on a similar mechanism ...

Endocrine Regulation of Lifespan in Insect Diapause
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 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.
