=== Diapause ===
{{main|Diapause}}

Diapause is a predictive strategy that is predetermined by an animal's [[genotype]]. Diapause is common in [[insect]]s, allowing them to suspend development between autumn and spring, and in [[mammals]] such as the [[Roe deer#Reproduction|roe deer]] (''Capreolus capreolus'', the only [[ungulate]] with [[embryonic diapause]]{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}}), in which a delay in attachment of the [[embryo]] to the [[Uterus|uterine]] lining ensures that [[offspring]] are born in spring, when conditions are most favorable.
