High Mountain Echiniscid (Heterotardigrada) Fauna of Taiwan. [PDF]
Zool Stud, 2021 Taiwan lies at the transitional zone between the East Palaearctic and Oriental regions, which translates into both Palaearctic and Indomalayan taxa being present on the island. Furthermore, large habitat heterogeneity and high mountains contributed to the rise of conditions favouring allopatric speciation and the emergence of endemic species.

The wealth of shared resources: Improving molecular taxonomy using eDNA and public databases
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 226-234, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Public databases such as the NCBI's GenBank have been used as repositories for genomic studies for more than 30 years. In this time, our understanding of the natural world, and especially the genomic world, has expanded vastly, and the size of these databases represent this genomic revolution.

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 376-382, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The Tardigrada are a clade with a disputed and complex taxonomy. The three traditional tardigrade classes are the Heterotardigrada, Eutardigrada and the dubious, monotypic Mesotardigrada. A recent molecular study by Guil et al (Zoologica Scripta, 48, 2019, 120) suggested that the Apochela, previously considered an order of Eutardigrada, should

New marine heterotardigrade lineages (Echiniscoididae) from the tropics [PDF]
, 2022 Echiniscoididae are the only family of the clade Echiniscoidea residing in marine habitats. Their characteristic feature is the multiplication of claws on legs, commonly regarded as an adaptation to unstable tidal environment. Although DNA barcoding data

Novel integrative data for Indomalayan echiniscids (Heterotardigrada) : new species and old problems [PDF]
Organisms Diversity & EvolutionAbstract The Malay Archipelago comprises thousands of islands that house a variety of biomes, from tropical rainforests of Borneo, Sumatra and Celebes to the Lesser Sundas deciduous forests. In this paper, we present an extensive genetic and morphological dataset for the genus Kristenseniscus, demonstrating the presence of the walteri complex
