<P> Diapause is a predictive strategy that is predetermined by an animal 's genotype . Diapause is common in insects , allowing them to suspend development between autumn and spring , and in mammals such as the roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus , the only ungulate with embryonic diapause ) , where a delay in attachment of the embryo to the uterine lining ensures that offspring are born in spring , when conditions are most favorable . </P>
