Biochemical Diversification through Foreign Gene Expression in Bdelloid Rotifers [PDF]
, 2012 Bdelloid rotifers are microinvertebrates with unique characteristics: they have survived tens of millions of years without sexual reproduction; they withstand extreme desiccation by undergoing anhydrobiosis; and they tolerate very high levels of ionizing

Integrated pathway modules using time-course metabolic profiles and EST data from Milnesium tardigradum [PDF]
, 2012 Background Tardigrades are multicellular organisms, resistant to extreme environmental changes such as heat, drought, radiation and freezing. They outlast these conditions in an inactive form (tun) to escape damage to cellular structures and cell death ...

Epitranscriptomics as a Candidate Universal Modulator of Dormancy Transitions
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Dormancy is presented as a conserved, reversible survival program in which epitranscriptomic RNA modifications are proposed to provide a rapid, energy‐efficient layer that establishes, maintains, and terminates the state by modulating mRNA stability, translation, and localization.

Anhydrobiosis in invertebrates
Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2006 Recent work on anhydrobiosis in invertebrates is reviewed. I introduce definition and classification of cryptobiosis, and review the distinctive features and extremely high stress tolerance of anhydrobiotic invertebrates. Most anhydrobiotic invertebrates have evolved various kinds of behavioral, morphological, physiological and physical adaptations to ...

Gradients of Aliveness and Engineering: A Taxonomy of Fungal Engineered Living Materials
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 5, 22 January 2026.This paper explores the potential of fungal engineered living materials (ELMs), examining fungal biology and growth mechanisms, which underpin their development. It presents a classification framework based on aliveness, scaffold composition, and engineering degree. Unique properties such as self‐healing, biosensing, and bioremediation are highlighted,

Survival of Radopholus similis (Cobb) in volcanic soils without host-plant [PDF]
, 2008 The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is the most damaging nematode on bananas. To minimize applications of nematicide, cropping systems based on fallow, rotation crop, and clean planting material have been developed in the French West Indies.

Are Hibernators Toast? Global Climate Change and Prolonged Seasonal Hibernation
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.This review examines how global climate change impacts mammalian hibernators, emphasizing physiological, ecological and phenological aspects. Many hibernating species already inhabit extreme environments, thus are at risk as climate variability intensifies.
