Mitotic activity patterns and cytoskeletal changes throughout the progression of diapause developmental program in Daphnia

Abstract Background Diapause is a form of dormancy that is genetically predetermined to allow animals to overcome harsh environmental conditions. It is induced by predictive environmental cues bringing cellular activity levels into a state of suspended animation. Entering diapause requires organisma...
