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.

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 ...

Identification of Central Regulatory Hubs in Pupal Diapause of Helicoverpa armigera Using Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis and Multiscale Embedded Network Analysis [PDF]
InsectsDiapause is a vital overwintering strategy for many insects, yet its comprehensive molecular architecture remains elusive. In the polyphagous pest Helicoverpa armigera, facultative pupal diapause is key to its ecological success. To elucidate the complex

Photoperiodic control of the intensity of diapause and diapause development in the bean bug, Riptortus clavatus (Heteroptera: Alydidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2000 Adult diapause in Riptortus clavatus (Thunberg) was induced by short-day photoperiods, and the critical daylength for its induction was 13.5 h. When insects were reared from eggs under diapause-inducing photoperiods near the critical daylength, the ...

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.

Suppression of transgenerational lipid provisioning inhibits desiccation resistance, but not diapause, in the vector mosquito, Aedes albopictus [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTransgenerational signaling allows many organisms to anticipate seasonal variation. Diapause, a hormonally-programmed period of developmental arrest, is a widespread anticipatory seasonal response that is often mediated by transgenerational signaling ...

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 ...

Role of water and moisture in diapause development (A review) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2003 While observational studies led to the assumption that water or moisture (W/M) is a prerequisite for diapause development, the experimental research indicates rather the opposite: usually W/M is needed as late as for the post-diapause resumption of ...

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2009 Metabolic depression is a highly conserved feature of insect diapause, and an increase in metabolism is a reliable indicator of diapause termination and the initiation of post-diapause development. The trajectory of metabolic rate following diapause termination can guide the identification of important physiological and developmental landmarks during ...

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.
