▪ Abstract Environmental and hormonal regulators of diapause have been reasonably well
defined, but our understanding of the molecular regulation of diapause remains in its …

Managing metabolic resources is critical for insects during diapause when food sources are
limited or unavailable. Insects accumulate reserves prior to diapause, and metabolic …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Insects are the most ecologically important multicellular heterotrophs in terrestrial systems.
They play critical roles in ecological food webs, remain devastating agricultural and medical …

Metabolic suppression is a hallmark of animal dormancy that promotes overall energy
savings. Some diapausing insects and some mammalian hibernators have regular cyclic …

Several cDNAs isolated from brains of diapausing pupae of the flesh fly, Sarcophaga
crassipalpis, show expression patterns unique to diapause. To isolate such cDNAs a …

Background Diapause, a state of arrested development accompanied by a marked decrease
of metabolic rate, helps insects to overcome unfavorable seasons. Helicoverpa armigera …

Most molecular work on insect diapause has focused on the expression of unique diapause
transcripts, rather than the protein products. Here we present results from a proteomic …

During pupal diapause in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis, the cells of the brain are
arrested in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. When diapause is terminated with a topical …

The validity of the oscillator-clock hypothesis for photoperiodic time measurement in insects
and mites is questioned on the basis of a re-interpretation of available experimental …
