Worms offer a simple yet powerful whole-organism model for studying senescence, mirroring mammalian aging processes and ...

Senescent cells, which are damaged and inflammatory, contribute significantly to aging. Researchers at the Max Planck ...

Colorado is home to thousands of species of moths, many of which are hatching out from a winter of hibernation, known as diapause. At night, porch lights, stadium lights and street lamps are regularly ...

Pupation then occurs later in the spring, and unlike in most Lepidoptera, the adult moths hatch without an extended pupal diapause, and instead begin to migrate west.

To survive a drop in temperatures over winter, monarch butterflies go into diapause – often called overwintering or hibernating – whereby groups cluster togetherin tall trees.

Calgary researchers are using 'citizen science' to help determine how an invasive species of mosquito, which is a carrier of the West Nile virus, can survive Alberta's winter.

Diapause is a seasonal adaptation strategy of insects and animals in which biological functions are put on hold, such as insect eggs that remain dormant until conditions are more favorable to hatch.

Diapause allows seasonal killifish to survive in habitats subject to extreme changes in water levels and temperature, according to researchers.

Ashbrook said the 2023 drought may have impacted the buck moths' diapause, a period of forced, extended development triggered by unfavorable weather conditions.

It then ceases growth and enters diapause. The embryo of the twostriped grasshopper, and probably others also, enter diapause at this stage. Exposed to favorable incubation temperatures, the eggs of a ...

When are stink bugs most common? According to Orkin, stink bugs generally mate, reproduce and feed from spring to late fall. They seek shelter for winter and go into a dormant phase called "diapause." ...
