ABSTRACT
Diapause is defined as a period of suspended development in insects and
other invertebrates during unfavorable environmental conditions. Diapause is
commonly confused with term “quiescence” as both are dormant
development stages. Here this paper aimed to review the research work done on different aspects of diapause. Attempt
was made to explain
definitions of diapause, incidence, stages and termination of diapause, genetic
control, factors affecting diapauses, including temperature, photoperiod, moisture and food, etc..
KEYWORDS
Diapause, quiescence, diapauses theory, stages of diapauses, genetic control, biotic and abiotic factors, insects.
