Embryonic diapause is conserved across mammals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Embryonic diapause (ED) is a temporary arrest of embryo development and is characterized by delayed implantation in the uterus. ED occurs in blastocysts of less than 2% of mammalian species, including the mouse (Mus musculus).

Developmental progression continues during embryonic diapause in the roe deer [PDF]
Communications BiologyEmbryonic diapause in mammals is a temporary developmental delay occurring at the blastocyst stage. In contrast to other diapausing species displaying a full arrest, the blastocyst of the European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) proliferates continuously ...

Embryonic diapause in humans: time to consider? [PDF]
Reprod Biol Endocrinol, 2013 When a competent blastocyst stage embryo finds itself in an unreceptive uterus, it delays development. In around one hundred species representing various orders, this delay is known to be reversible, but this phenomenon - termed embryonic diapause (ED) - is not considered a general characteristic of all mammals.Recently, however, we demonstrated that a

Protocol for induction, maintenance, and exit from embryo dormancy in mice [PDF]
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Embryonic dormancy (diapause) is a reproductive adaptation that allows some mammalian species to prolong pregnancy and delay birth by temporarily suspending embryonic development just before implantation. Here, we present a step-by-step protocol

Molecular mechanisms and comparative transcriptomics of diapause in two corn rootworm species (Diabrotica spp.) [PDF]
Current Research in Insect ScienceDiapause is a programmed developmental arrest that can occur at any developmental stage depending on species, but the mechanisms that underscore embryonic diapause are poorly understood.

Corona or hydrochloric acid modulates embryonic diapause in silkworms by activating different signaling pathways [PDF]
PeerJBackground To adapt to environmental changes, diapausing silkworm eggs remain dormant during the early stages of embryonic development. Various methods have been used to terminate silkworm egg diapause and promote egg hatching.

Oxytocin induces embryonic diapause. [PDF]
Sci Adv(Abstracted from Sci Adv 2025;11(10):eadt1763, doi:10.1126/sciadv.adt1763 Embryonic diapause is defined as a paused state in embryonic development before implantation that is reversible. In mice, this has been shown to occur in pregnancies triggered by maternal duress or nursing a previous litter.

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.

Upregulation of Insulin and Ecdysone Signaling in Relation to Diapause Termination in Bombyx mori Eggs Exposed to 5 °C [PDF]
InsectsIn the present study, we investigated the possible correlation between insulin/ecdysone signaling and chilling-induced egg diapause termination in Bombyx mori.
