FEBS Open Bio, 2020 The tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris can undergo anhydrobiosis. Several chemicals that inhibit successful anhydrobiosis in H. exemplaris have been identified, and these chemicals inhibit the activity of signaling molecules.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Dispersal strategies are vital for sessile or passively moving organisms, profoundly influencing the distribution and survival of plant and small‐sized animal species. The role of large mammals in dispersal and habitat (re)colonisation is well recognised, yet their full contribution across propagule taxa, various dispersers and dispersal ...

Metabolites, 2013 Cyanobacteria have two types of sunscreen pigments, scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). These secondary metabolites are thought to play multiple roles against several environmental stresses such as UV radiation and desiccation.

Space Flight Effects on Antioxidant Molecules in Dry Tardigrades: The TARDIKISS Experiment [PDF]
, 2015 The TARDIKISS (Tardigrades in Space) experiment was part of the Biokon in Space (BIOKIS) payload, a set of multidisciplinary experiments performed during the DAMA (Dark Matter) mission organized by Italian Space Agency and Italian Air Force in 2011. This

Exposure, body size, and zooplankton overland dispersal capacity
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 15-24, January 2025.Abstract The dormant life stages of freshwater zooplankton are generally resistant to environmental exposure, and this facilitates their overland dispersal. However, environmental exposure and overland dispersal are less well studied for the active life stages of freshwater zooplankton.

Multiple functionally divergent and conserved copies of alpha tubulin in bdelloid rotifers. [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic animals that have apparently survived without sex for millions of years and are able to survive desiccation at all life stages through a process called anhydrobiosis.

Lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans insulin/IGF-1 signalling mutants is supported by non-vertebrate physiological traits [PDF]
, 2017 The insulin/IGF-1 signalling (IIS) pathway connects nutrient levels to metabolism, growth and lifespan in eukaryotes ranging from yeasts to humans, including nematodes such as the genetic model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The link between ageing and

Molecular Anhydrobiology: Identifying Molecules Implicated in Invertebrate Anhydrobiosis [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2005 Studies in anhydrobiotic plants have defined many genes which are upregulated during desiccation, but comparable studies in invertebrates are at an early stage. To develop a better understanding of invertebrate anhydrobiosis, we have begun to characterise dehydration-inducible genes and their proteins in anhydrobiotic nematodes and bdelloid rotifers ...
