I am interested on the question too! Andrew, could you please send me the pdf of this book you mentioned as im not finding the pdf of this book online? Thanks :)
just curious here... are you looking at gene expression changes as consequence of diapause? developmental changes due to stimuli during diapause are to be expected. Temperature stress perhaps...have you tried to induce diapause and then examine groups of "normal" vs diapause egg batches?
