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

Evolution &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 ...

Characteristics of meiofauna in extreme marine ecosystems: a review [PDF]

, 2017
Extreme marine environments cover more than 50% of the Earth’s surface and offer many opportunities for investigating the biological responses and adaptations of organisms to stressful life conditions. Extreme marine environments are sometimes associated

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

Microscopy 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.

Integrative description of a new Pseudechiniscus species and a new population of Barbaria ganczareki (Michalczyk and Kaczmarek, 2007) (Heterotardigrada: echiniscidae) from Ecuador

The European Zoological Journal
The terrestrial genera Barbaria (13 taxa) and Pseudechiniscus (54 taxa) belong to the family Echiniscidae (Heterotardigrada). In two samples collected in the Cotachi-Caypas Ecological Reserve, specimens of both genera were found.

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

Polar 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 ...
