Description
Diapause is a preprogrammed form of developmental arrest that allows animals to survive harsh environmental conditions and may also allow populations to synchronize periods of growth and reproduction with periods of optimal temperatures and adequate water and food. Diapause is endogenously controlled, and this dormancy typically begins well before conditions become too harsh to support normal growth and development [1,2]. Β» MiPNet article

Abstract: Many insect-oriented researchers do not adequately consider the state of 'quiescence' in their definitions. In actuality, diapause is one end of a continuum and quiescence is at the other end.

Metabolic state
- The linked definition does not distinguish diapause from quiescence (quiescence being a dormant state directly induced by application of a harsh environmental condition; e.g., anoxia -- anaerobic quiescence).
