'Insect Diapause guides the reader through an expansive library of historic and recent discoveries towards a synthesis of how diapause works, how it evolves, and how it might be the key to insect resilience or decline … Denlinger makes it relatively easy to navigate a complex series of experiments … [and] is adept at tracing the common thread without obscuring the variability and uncertainty of the results … Insect Diapause provides a much-needed synthesis of modern diapause research and should find a home on the shelves of many entomologists. It covers a lot of territory yet throughout it reveals fertile ground for a new generation of breakthroughs in diapause biology.' Greg Ragland, American Entomologist

Author Information

David L. Denlinger is one of the world's leading researchers on insect diapause. He is a Distinguished University Professor, and Professor Emeritus of Entomology, at the Ohio State University, USA. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the Entomological Society of America and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society. Professor Denlinger's current laboratory research focuses primarily on molecular mechanisms involved in insect overwintering. His interests range from the use of clock genes to perceive environmental signals through the endocrine and molecular events that result in expression of the diapause phenotype. He has received numerous awards for his research including the Gregor Mendel Medal from the Czech Academy of Sciences (2006), the Antarctic Service Medal (2006), and the ICIPE Achievement Award (2020).
