Talk:Embryonic diapause

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Diapause" should not be redirected to "Mammalian embryonic diapause" as diapause is not unique to mammals. Diapause is mostly associated with insects, who enter into diapause to survive the winter. --Farnkerl 13:34, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Delayed Implantation

I noticed that the mustelid pages tend to use the term 'delayed implantation' (some are red linked, some didn't mark a link) instead of embryonic diapause. I will see if I can figure out how to redirect 'delayed implantation'. wagors 00:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brown Bears Don't Hibernate

While Brown Bears might very well undergo embryonic diapause, they do not hibernate, so I removed that unreferenced paragraph. Instead I used the example of the Roe Deer, not as interesting, as the mechanism is not fully understood, but more accurate than stating that their embryos implant during hibernation... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reizei Kaida (talk • contribs) 21:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sucking Stimulus

Is sucking the right word, or would suckling be more appropriate?

Meaning #3: feeding an infant by giving suck at the breast
