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.

Tardigrades of the Ivohibory forest (south-central Madagascar) with a description of a new Bryodelphax species

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
In this paper, samples of mosses and lichens collected from Ivohibory Forest (south-central Madagascar) were studied in search for tardigrades. In total, 39 tardigrade taxa were identified, 21 of which are new records for Madagascar.

Preliminary studies of the tardigrada communities from a polymetallic nodule area of the deep South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Knowledge about marine tardigrades from the South China Sea is very scarce, with only four species from shallow waters recorded to date. The present study investigated the structure and diversity of tardigrade communities from the deep sea (1517-1725 m ...

Hiding in the Arctic and in mountains: a (dis)entangled classification of Claxtonia (Heterotardigrada: Echiniscidae) [PDF]

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023
Abstract Numerous evolutionary lineages representing an armoured, limno-terrestrial family Echiniscidae are restricted to high mountainous or polar localities, exhibiting clear cold stenothermic preferences. One such group is the genus Claxtonia, with its type species Claxtonia wendti, originally described from Svalbard and later on ...

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.

Organization of the central nervous system and innervation of cephalic sensory structures in the water bear Echiniscus testudo (Tardigrada: Heterotardigrada) revisited

Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 9, Page 1298-1312, September 2021., 2021
The brain of the heterotardigrade Echiniscus testudo is a dorsal structure with a large central neuropil that exhibits anti‐synapsin immunoreactivity and is serially homologous to the trunk ganglia. The head of E. testudo shows a number of cephalic sensory appendages, subsets of which are homologous to the cephalic sensory fields of eutardigrades ...

Systematics of tardigrada: A reanalysis of tardigrade taxonomy with specific reference to Guil et al. (2019)

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
