Tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments: insights into Holocene dynamics and origins of the fauna

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2007
The preservation of tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments provided an opportunity to assess post-glacial colonisation and Holocene tardigrade dynamics on the southern continent.

Ecology explains anhydrobiotic performance across tardigrades, but the shared evolutionary history matters more

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 3, Page 307-318, March 2024.
This study offers a novel approach to quantify desiccation (anhydrobiosis) tolerance. It shows that ancestral history (phylogeny), rather than current habitat (ecology), explains most of the considerable interspecific variation in this trait across tardigrades. Abstract Desiccation stress is lethal to most animals.

Integrative description of Macrobiotus porifini sp. nov. (Macrobiotidae) from Madagascar and its phylogenetic position within the hufelandi group

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2021
In this paper we applied an integrative taxonomy approach to describe a new tardigrade species from Madagascar. The description is based on morphological and morphometric data (using both light and scanning electron microscopy), combined with genetic ...

Species diversity and morphometrics of tardigrades from a medium-size city in the Neotropical Region: Santa Rosa (La Pampa, Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007
Tardigrade diversity was studied in a medium-sized city in the Neotropical Region: Santa Rosa (La Pampa, Argentina). Samples were collected between February 1999 and January 2000 from lichens and mosses growing on sidewalk trees of the urban and ...

A long-term study of population dynamics of tardigrades in the moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus (Hedw.) Warnst

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2007
Variation of abundance, dominance and diversity of tardigrades were studied over a period of 54 months in a carpet of the moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus that covered a lawn in the Black Forest (Germany).

Integrative taxonomy identifies two new tardigrade species (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) from Greenland

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Taxonomy, 2020
In this paper we describe Macrobiotus engbergi sp. nov. and Tenuibiotus zandrae sp. nov. from Greenland. Our study has involved both classical taxonomic methods, which include morphological and morphometric analyses conducted with the use of light and ...

Energy allocation in two species of Eutardigrada

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2007
To improve our knowledge on life histories in tardigrades and the energy allocated for their reproduction and growth, we have studied two species (Macrobiotus richtersi and Hypsibius convergens) differing in evolutionary histories, diet and ways of ...
