520 |a Juvenile harvestmen Gyas annulatus overwinter in dormancy in hypogean habitats for 4-5 months. The ultrastructure of the autophagic structures in their midgut epithelium cells was studied by light-, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunofluorescence microscopy (IFM) during this nonfeeding period. Before overwintering (November), autophagic structures were scarce. In the middle (January) and at the end of overwintering (March), phagophores, autophagosomes and autolysosomes were present in the cytoplasm of both the secretory and the digestive midgut epithelium cells, gradually increasing their abundance during overwintering. In addition, vacuolization of the cytoplasm intensified. Both processes are induced by starvation. Autophagic structures and cytoplasm vacuolization enable the reuse of the cell's own components required for the maintenance of vital processes during dormancy. While TEM is a much more convenient method for recognition of the autophagic structure types and their ultrastructure, IFM enables exact counting of these structures.
