Diapause is a programmed dormancy that allows organisms to tolerate predictable periods of unfavorable conditions by temporarily halting development and reducing metabolism. Diapause is widespread among insects and is crucial for allowing organisms to coordinate their growth and reproduction with favorable environmental conditions. While the adaptive significance of diapause is well-understood, the molecular mechanisms underpinning diapause remain unresolved. We performed high-throughput sequencing to investigate the role of microRNAs in the diapause of the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus. We first investigate miRNAs in diapause induction by characterizing maternally-provisioned miRNAs in mature oocytes of Ae. albopictus under diapause-inducing and diapause-averting conditions. Second, we investigate miRNAs in diapause maintenance by characterizing miRNAs in diapause and non-diapause pharate larvae. We identified 162 miRNAs, 152 previously known and 10 putatively novel. We identified no differentially abundant miRNAs in mature oocytes and seven differentially abundant miRNAs in pharate larvae. The predicted targets of differentially abundant miRNAs include genes affecting several processes related to diapause maintenance including ecdysone regulation, immune response, lipid metabolism, and regulation of development. Our results suggest that Ae. albopictus does not maternally-provision a unique set of miRNAs during diapause induction but miRNAs are a component of diapause maintenance in this species.
