Diapause in tardigrades: a study of factors involved in encystment [PDF]
Stressful environmental conditions limit survival, growth, and reproduction, or these conditions induce resting stages indicated as dormancy. Tardigrades represent one of the few animal phyla able to perform both forms of dormancy: quiescence and ...
