    In nature and under experimental conditions the same organism may show a complete gradation between the states of high biological and metabolic activity, a more or less deep dormancy, or torpor due to hibernation, aestivation, diapause or quiescence associated with a lower but still measurable metabolism (hypometabolism), and the state of ametabolic latent life, or cryptobiosis. All these states of an organism are well covered by the term hypobiosis introduced, in a somewhat different sense, by Monterosso (I934).
