Integrative description of Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov. with notes on M. recens (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2018 In this paper we describe Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov., a new tardigrade species of the Macrobiotus hufelandi group from the Canary Islands. Moreover, with the use of DNA sequencing, we confirm that Macrobiotus recens Cuénot, 1932 represents the ...

Morphology and taxonomy of the genus Ramazzottius (Eutardigrada; Ramazzottiidae) with the integrative description of Ramazzottius kretschmanni sp. nov [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2022 The species of the genus Ramazzottius (Ramazzottiidae, Eutardigrada) are among the most common and widespread tardigrade species in the world. Most of the 28 Ramazzottius species have been described only with morphological characters which were most of ...

Integrative taxonomy identifies two new tardigrade species (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) from Greenland [PDF]
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020 In this paper we describe Macrobiotus engbergi sp. nov. and Tenuibiotus zandrae sp. nov. from Greenland. Our study has involved both classical taxonomic methods, which include morphological and morphometric analyses conducted with the use of light and ...

Fibril Structure of Desiccation-Protective Tardigrade Protein CAHS-8. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglWe present the atomic structure of the fibril formed by an intrinsically disordered protein that has been shown to be responsible for remarkable environmental stress in tardigrades. X‐ray crystallography reveals a unique mechanism of fibril assembly whereby a single helix forms a stable, antiparallel coiled‐coil dimer, which then assembles into a ...

Search for putative gene regulatory motifs in CAHS3, linked to anhydrobiosis in a tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus, in vivo and in silico. [PDF]
Genes CellsTardigrades can survive in an almost completely dehydrated state, known as anhydrobiosis, aided by proteins like CAHS3. Research using a newly developed tardigrade‐specific vector revealed that CAHS3 expression is most pronounced in the epidermis, suggesting tissue‐specific regulation rather than uniform expression.

Metabolite phosphatase from anhydrobiotic tardigrades. [PDF]
FEBS JIn this study, we determined the crystal structure of a Ferritin‐like protein widely distributed among intriguing organisms such as tardigrades, which show tolerance to extreme environmental conditions. We identified a dinuclear metal‐binding site, which we found harbors phosphatase activity toward several metabolites, including compounds related to ...
