First records of limnoterrestrial tardigrades (Tardigrada) from Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Moss samples were collected from trees and rocks in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, Canada, and examined for the presence of tardigrades. Specimens from 24 taxa were found in 17 out of the 22 examined samples.

Macrobiotus polypiformis sp. nov., a new tardigrade (Macrobiotidae; hufelandi group) from the Ecuadorian Pacific coast, with remarks on the claw abnormalities in eutardigrades

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
From a moss sample collected in the Manabí Province in Ecuador, we extracted 96 specimens of a new species of eutardigrade. No eggs were found. In order to obtain eggs, an in vitro culture was prepared.

Integrative taxonomy resolves species identities within the Macrobiotus pallarii complex (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae)

open access: yesZoological 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

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Tardigrades' Diversity and Dispersal Patterns in European Freshwater Rock Pools

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Space Flight Effects on Antioxidant Molecules in Dry Tardigrades: The TARDIKISS Experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Chasing (macro)elements in microinvertebrates: A new methodological approach for quantitative and qualitative analyses of phosphorus by PIXE (Particle‐Induced X‐Ray Emission) applied to glacier tardigrades

open access: yesMethods 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.

Distribution and diversity of Tardigrada along altitudinal gradients in the Hornsund, Spitsbergen (Arctic) [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2015
Two transects were established and sampled along altitudinal gradients on the slopes of Ariekammen (77°01′N; 15°31′E) and Rotjesfjellet (77°00′N; 15°22′E) in Hornsund, Spitsbergen.
