Dormancy and Resistance in Harsh Environments

Dormancy and Resistance in Harsh Environments edited by Esther Lubzens, Joan Cerda, Melody Clark.

Many organisms have evolved the ability to enter into and revive from a dormant state. They can survive for long periods in this state (often even months to years), yet can become responsive again within minutes or hours. This is often, but not necessarily, associated with desiccation. Preserving on...
