Insect Diapause
«'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»
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. Les mer
