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.

Optimal low temperature and chilling period for both summer and winter diapause development in Pieris melete: based on a similar mechanism. [PDF]
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 ...

Drosophila americana Diapausing Females Show Features Typical of Young Flies. [PDF]
Diapause is a period of arrested development which is controlled physiologically, preprogrammed environmentally and characterized by metabolic depression that can occur during any stage of insect development.

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 ...

Circadian clock genes, ovarian development and diapause [PDF]
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 ...

Juvenile Hormone Is an Important Factor in Regulating Aspongopus chinensis Dallas Diapause
Aspongopuschinensis is a Chinese traditional edible and medicinal insect, which is in great demand in the society. This insect reproduces once a year which is caused by reproductive diapause resulting in insufficient production in wild resources. However,

Circadian Clock Genes Regulate Temperature-Dependent Diapause Induction in Silkworm Bombyx mori
The bivoltine strain of the domestic silkworm, Bombyx mori, exhibits a facultative diapause phenotype that is determined by maternal environmental conditions during embryonic and larval development.

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 ...

Embryonic diapause: development on hold
Embryonic diapause, the temporary suspension of development of the embryo, is a fascinating reproductive strategy that has been frequently exploited across the animal kingdom. It is characterized by an arrest in development that occurs at the blastocyst stage in over 130 species of mammals.
