Diapause can occur at any point in the life cycle (embryo, larva, pupa, adult), but when it occurs is species-specific.

Reviews'Insect Diapause guides the reader through an expansive library of historic and recent discoveries towards a synthesis of how diapause works, how it evolves, and how it might be the key to insect resilience or decline ... Denlinger makes it relatively easy to navigate a complex series of experiments ... [and] is adept at tracing the common thread without obscuring the variability and uncertainty of the results ... Insect Diapause provides a much-needed synthesis of modern diapause research and should find a home on the shelves of many entomologists. It covers a lot of territory yet throughout it reveals fertile ground for a new generation of breakthroughs in diapause biology.' Greg Ragland, American Entomologist

SynopsisWritten by the world's primary authority on insect diapause, this book explains how environmental cues elicit diapause and probes the underlying molecular mechanisms that bring about the dormant state. Invaluable for professionals and students interested in diapause and the implications it has for advancing other areas of science., Our highly seasonal world restricts insect activity to brief portions of the year. This feature necessitates a sophisticated interpretation of seasonal changes and enactment of mechanisms for bringing development to a halt and then reinitiating it when the inimical season is past. The dormant state of diapause serves to bridge the unfavourable seasons, and its timing provides a powerful mechanism for synchronizing insect development. This book explores how seasonal signals are monitored and used by insects to enact specific molecular pathways that generate the diapause phenotype. The broad perspective offered here scales from the ecological to the molecular and thus provides a comprehensive view of this exciting and vibrant research field, offering insights on topics ranging from pest management, evolution, speciation, climate change and disease transmission, to human health, as well as analogies with other forms of invertebrate dormancy and mammalian hibernation.
