Abstract: | During diapause O2 consumption in fly pupae is a cyclic event (4-day periodicity at 25 degrees C) driven by cycles of juvenile hormone activity. Levels of juvenile hormone esterase activity change systematically during the cycle, with highest activity observed at the nadir of the O2 consumption cycle. |
