Such suspended animation has garnered many different names: hibernation and torpor (in mammals and birds), brumation (in reptiles), diapause and quiescence (in insects and nematodes), aestivation (summer dormancy in vertebrates and invertebrates), hypobiosis, cryptobiosis, and latent life (in microorga
