Mitochondrial alternative oxidase contributes to successful tardigrade anhydrobiosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 Anhydrobiosis can be described as an adaptation to lack of water that enables some organisms, including tardigrades, to survive extreme conditions, even some that do not exist on Earth.
