New Echiniscidae (Heterotardigrada) from Amber Mountain (Northern Madagascar) [PDF]
Evolutionary Systematics, 2019 A moss sample from the local biodiversity hotspot in lowland rainforest in the vicinity of Amber Mountain, Madagascar, yielded the discovery of two Echiniscus C.A.S. Schultze, 1840 species, of which one is new to science. Echiniscus succineus sp. nov. is

The architecture of the nervous system of Echiniscus testudo (Echiniscoidea, Heterotardigrada) [PDF]
Journal of Limnology, 2013 Despite the fact that there are several descriptions of the nervous system of Tardigrada there is still dispute about how to interpret the organisation of these structures.

Revised Cornechiniscus (Heterotardigrada) and new phylogenetic analyses negate echiniscid subfamilies and tribes [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Echiniscidae are undoubtedly the most thoroughly studied lineage of the class Heterotardigrada. Recently, new subfamilies and tribes grouping echiniscid genera based on traditionally recognized morphological clues have been proposed. Here, by integrative

Continued Exploration of Tanzanian Rainforests Reveals a New Echiniscid Species (Heterotardigrada). [PDF]
Zool Stud, 2020 The Afrotropical tardigrade fauna is insufficiently studied, and consequently its diversity in this region is severely underestimated. Ongoing sampling in the Udzungwa Mountains, Morogoro Region of Tanzania has revealed a new representative of the genus Echiniscus C.A.S. Schultze, 1840 (Echiniscidae). Echiniscus tantulus sp. nov.

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 ...
