Abstract

Diapause is a physiological state of arrested development which enables an organism to survive more easily a period of unfavorable conditions. Once an organism has entered diapause it usually has to remain in that state for a certain period, regardless of the conditions of the environment. In some species diapause is broken by exposure to particular conditions, notably cold. A few species may remain in diapause more than one year.
