“…The dormancy functions as an escape mechanism for organisms, which cannot logistically avoid temporary adverse conditions, and may last anywhere from a few months to several years depending on species and habitat type (Gill et al, 2017). Among insects, a specialized version of seasonally induced dormancy, referred to as diapause, is commonly observed throughout a variety of habitat types and climatic zones (e.g., Denlinger, 1986;Diniz et al, 2017;Kosumi & Takeda, 2017;Pires et al, 2000;Sahoo et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2018;Wolda & Denlinger, 1984). In some species, diapause is facultatively induced by external cues, allowing the species to be multivoltine in suitable habitats, while other species are obligate diapausers and always have a single generation per season (Denlinger et al, 2012;Dolezel, 2015).…”
