The dormancy process that results in entry into diapause. Diapause is a neurohormonally mediated, dynamic state of low metabolic activity. Associated characteristics of this form of dormancy include reduced morphogenesis, increased resistance to environmental extremes, and altered or reduced behavioral activity. Full expression develops in a species-specific manner, usually in response to a number of environmental stimuli that precede unfavorable conditions. Once diapause has begun, metabolic activity is suppressed even if conditions favorable for development prevail. Once initiated, only certain stimuli are capable of releasing the organism from this state, and this characteristic is essential in distinguishing diapause from hibernation.

The dormancy process that results in entry into reproductive diapause. Reproductive diapause is a form of diapause where the organism itself will remain fully active, including feeding and other routine activities, but the reproductive organs experience a tissue-specific reduction in metabolism, with characteristic triggering and releasing stimuli.

The expansion of one cell sheet over other cells involved in deuterostomic gastrulation.

The expansion of one cell sheet over other cells or yolk.

OBSOLETE. A metabolic process that results in the removal or addition of one or more electrons to or from a substance, with or without the concomitant removal or addition of a proton or protons.

The migration of individual cells into the embryo involved in deuterostomic gastrulation.

The migration of individual cells within the blastocyst to help establish the multi-layered body plan of the organism (gastrulation). For example, the migration of cells from the surface to the interior of the embryo (ingression).

The splitting or migration of one epithelial sheet into two involved in the process of deuterostomic gastrulation.

The inturning of an epithelial sheet over the basal surface of an outer layer involved in deuterostomic gastrulation.

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of protein localization to phagocytic vesicle.

The process in which the extent of cardiac muscle contraction is reduced.

Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of protein localization to phagocytic vesicle.
