Diapause Hormones

  • Chapter
Neurohormonal Techniques in Insects

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Experimental Entomology ((SSEXP))

Abstract

Diapause in insect development is a result of genetic adaptation to environment during the evolution of a given species. It is defined as a temporary interruption of the development even under the conditions favored at the moment. Diapause is generally associated with a low rate of metabolism and low susceptibility toward dryness, unfavorable temperature (coldness in winter), and respiratory toxins such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. Resumption of development can only occur after completion of diapause development in a certain period of adverse conditions.
