To understand what happens to mosquitoes as the weather gets cold, the first step is to look at their biology.

Antarctic midge survives extreme climate through quiescence and obligate diapause, key to its survival in harsh environment.

Obligate diapause is a dormant period naturally induced at a fixed time in an organism’s life cycle, a rare form seen in insects in temperate regions. “We were able to establish a method for ...

Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered how the Antarctic midge survives in extreme climates through a two-year life cycle involving quiescence and obligate diapause.

“Although seasonal adaptation strategies involving overwintering multiple times using both quiescence and obligate diapause have not been reported in other organisms, we believe that insects ...
