Solution
Diapause is a stage of suspended development to cope
with unfavourable conditions. Many species of Zooplankton and insects
exhibit diapause to tide over adverse climatic conditions during
their development.
Hibernation or winter sleep is a resting stage where
in animals escape winters (cold) by hiding themselves in their
shelters. They escape the winter season by entering a state of
inactivity by slowing their metabolism. The phenomenon of hibernation
is exhibited by bats, squirrels, and other rodents.
