Two new sub‐Antarctic Echiniscoididae from Marion Island (Heterotardigrada, Echiniscoidea) [PDF]
Abstract Echiniscoides sigismundi verrucariae and E. sigismundi porphyrae, two new subspecies of Echiniscoides sigismundi sensu lato, from the intertidal zone of sub‐Antarctic Macaroni Bay in Marion Island are described. The two subspecies show important peculiarities in cuticle structure, claw number, and male and female gonopores.

Die Feinstruktur des Integumentes und der Muskelansatzstellen vonEchiniscoides sigismundi (Heterotardigrada) [PDF]
1. Das Integument des marinen HeterotardigradenEchiniscoides sigismundi besteht aus einer Cuticula und einer einschichtigen Epidermis ohne Drusen. 2. Die Rumpfcuticula besitzt eine drei- bis mehrschichtige ausere Epicuticula (vielleicht mit einer aufgelagerten Schleimschicht), eine nicht auffallend strukturierten inneren Epicuticula ...

The genus Echiniscus Schultze 1840 (Tardigrada) in Costa Rican (Central America) rain forests with descriptions of two new species [PDF]
In 46 mosses lichens samples collected in Costa Rica 10 Echiniscus Schultze 1840 species were recorded. Two of them were already known from Costa Rica, five are new to this country, further two (E. dariae n. sp. and E. kosickii n. sp.) are new to science,

ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades are important members of Antarctic metazoan communities with many endemic species. Major biogeographic patterns of Antarctic fauna have been identified, in particular regarding the zonation across the Gressitt line, dividing Continental and Peninsular Antarctica. Evidences suggest that Antarctic tardigrades follow this zonation

Abstract Molecular techniques like metabarcoding, while promising for exploring diversity of communities, are often impeded by the lack of reference DNA sequences available for taxonomic annotation. Our study explores the benefits of combining targeted DNA barcoding and morphological taxonomy to improve metabarcoding efficiency, using beach meiofauna ...
