here's your answer
hibernaton : Hibernate means to take a season-long snooze. ... Animals that sleep through the winter, like bears, squirrels, rodents and even some rattlesnakes, are said to hibernate through the winter. This word can also be used to describe any kind of inactive or dormant state, especially for the purpose of getting rest.
Aesivaton : Aestivation or æstivation is a state of animal dormancy, similar to hibernation, characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months.
Diapause : Diapause means when referencing animal dormancy, is the delay in development in response to regularly and recurring periods of adverse environmental conditions. ... In cases where the insect remains active, feeding is reduced and reproductive development is slowed or halted.

Explanation:
1. Hibernation: is the adaptive mechanism of the organism in which the organism avoid the winter season. This feature is observed in the reptiles and some mammals like a polar bear.
2. Aestivation: is the adaptive mechanism of organisms in which the organism avoids the hot and dry condition like by the organism living in the deserts. They hide in the shaded portion and are observed with inactivity.
3. Diapause: the state of dormancy in which the response of the animal changes in the adverse condition which is marked by the low reproductive state.
