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.

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.

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]
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 ...

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
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 ...
