Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

The first records of tardigrades (Tardigrada, Eutardigrada) from Estonia

open access: yesZoology and Ecology, 2012
Tardigrada fauna of Estonia has never been studied until now. Two species of Eutardigrada: Eremobiotus alicatai (Binda, 1969) and Isohypsibius marcellinoi Binda & Pilato, 1971, were found in one moss sample collected in Rakvere. They are the first records of Tardigrada in Estonia. Iki siol lėtūnų (Tardigrada) fauna Estijoje nebuvo tyrinėta.

Developmental and genomic insight into the origin of the tardigrade body plan

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 26, Issue 4, July 2024.
Three hypotheses for the homology of tardigrade segments to segments of other panarthropods. H, tardigrade head; T1‐T4, tardigrade trunk segment 1–trunk segment 4. Abstract Tardigrada is an ancient lineage of miniaturized animals. As an outgroup of the well‐studied Arthropoda and Onychophora, studies of tardigrades hold the potential to reveal ...

Marine sediment infauna‐based environmental assessment using metabarcoding identifies potential impact indicator species

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 3, May–June 2024.
Intertidal infaunal community data are obtained via: (1) morphological identification of macroinvertebrates from sediment cores, (2) cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA metabarcoding of the same pooled macroinvertebrate specimens, and (3) 18S ribosomal RNA (18S) DNA metabarcoding of benthic meiofauna from small volume sediment surface scrapes.

A new, simplified, drying protocol to prepare tardigrades for scanning electron microscopy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 87, Issue 4, Page 716-726, April 2024.
Here a cheap, safe, and fast new method for Tardigrada preparation for scanning electron microscope (SEM) is proposed. The new protocol allows to minimize the number of animals sacrificed for SEM studies and is potentially applicable to the study of other meiofaunal soft‐bodied taxa.

New records on cyclomorphosis in the marine eutardigrade Halobiotus crispae (Eutardigrada: Hypsibiidae)

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2007
Halobiotus crispae is a marine eutardigrade belonging to Hypsibiidae. A characteristic of this species is the appearance of seasonal cyclic changes in morphology and physiology, i.e. cyclomorphosis.

Integrative redescription of the Xerobiotus euxinus Pilato, Kiosya, Lisi, Inshina & Biserov, 2011 (Tardigrada: Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) population from Ukraine

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
Using integrative taxonomy, we redescribe an eutardigrade Xerobiotus euxinus Pilato et al. 2011 based on material from the type locality and additional population from the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve in the south of Ukraine.

Current knowledge of the Tardigrada of Svalbard with the first records of water bears from Nordaustlandet (High Arctic)

open access: yesPolar Research, 2013
The first investigations of the tardigrades of Svalbard took place in the early 20th century and 30 papers on the subject have been published to date. In this article, we summarize available information on the distribution of tardigrades in this Arctic ...

Integrative description of two new Milnesium species (Apochela: milnesiidae) from Canada and Nepal

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal
Global knowledge of tardigrade diversity is limited, and there are still regions with poorly studied fauna. We applied an integrative taxonomy approach to describe two new eutardigrade species from Nepal and Canada.
