How is diapause different from hibernation?

Explanation

Diapause is a stage of suspended development of an organism in order to cope up with the changing environment. Many species including zooplanktons and certain insects exhibit diapause to cope with the adverse climatic stress. On the other hand, hibernation is a state of sleep or resting phase where the organism suspends itself from the adverse climatic conditions. The metabolic activity slows down and the organism experiences near death situation. Certain rodents and bears follow such mechanisms.
