Contribution to the fresh water Tardigrada from Barentsøya, Svalbard (78°30'N)
Fauna Norvegica, 1991 Fifteen species and one subspecies of Tardigrada were found in the littoral zone of 18 fresh water bodies on the Talaveraflya. All taxa are new records for Barentsøya; Hypsibius antarcticus and Macrobiotus dianeae were not previously reported from ...

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 ...

Diversity, 2021 To date, 34 tardigrade taxa have been recorded from Vietnam and this includes only two macrobiotid species belonging to the genus Mesobiotus. In this paper, two additional species of this genus, one of the M. harmsworthi group and one of the M.

Four new species of theDiphascon nobileigroup (Eutardigrada, Hypsibiidae) [PDF]
Journal of Natural History, 2005 The existence of a group of species similar to Diphascon (Diphascon) nobilei is shown. These species have some common characteristics: a well‐evident drop‐shaped thickening between the buccal tube and the pharyngeal tube, pharyngeal bulb, more or less elongate, with three rod‐shaped macroplacoids and microplacoid, claws of the hind legs different from ...

Journal of Limnology, 2013 We studied reproductive traits in populations of the eutardigrade species Macrobiotus hufelandi, Paramacrobiotus richtersi, and Diphascon pingue from a carpet of the moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus in the Black forest, Germany, over a period of 53 months.

Zoological Letters, 2021 The taxonomy of many groups of meiofauna is challenging due to their low number of diagnostic morphological characters and their small body size. Therefore, with the advent of molecular techniques that provide a new source of traits, many cryptic species

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 ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

Is the gut content ofMilnesium(Eutardigrada) related to buccal tube size? [PDF]
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016 Milnesium, with its relatively short and wide buccal tube, is considered carnivorous. Species in this genus exhibit differences in buccal tube length, standard buccal tube width, and the buccal tube length/width ratio. To determine whether buccal tube size is correlated with the type of prey, ˜4000 specimens of various Milnesium species were examined ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1160-1172, June 2025.Abstract Microinvertebrates in harsh environments often occupy the highest trophic levels and directly influence the turnover of macroelements. However, the investigation of their body elemental composition is complicated due to their low dry weight or sample size hindering the application of established methodological approaches.
