A checklist of Norwegian Tardigrada
Fauna Norvegica, 2017 Animals of the phylum Tardigrada are microscopical metazoans that seldom exceed 1 mm in length. They are recorded from terrestrial, limnic and marine habitats and they have a distribution from Arctic to Antarctica. Tardigrades are also named ‘water bears’

First record of the tardigrade Echiniscus testudo (Doyère, 1840) from northeast of Iran (Heterotardigrada: Echiniscidae) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2018 Tardigrada is a phylum closely allied with the arthropods. They are small (0.05-1.20 mm), hygrophilous micrometazoans, have four pairs of lobe-like legs and are either carnivorous or feed on plant material.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Tardigrada is a group of microscopic invertebrates distributed worldwide in permanent and temporal aquatic habitats. Famous for their extreme stress tolerance, tardigrades are also of interest due to their close relationship with Arthropoda ...

Area, depth and elevation of cryoconite holes in the Arctic do not influence Tardigrada densities
Polish Polar Research, 2016 Water bears (Tardigrada) are known as one of the most extremophile animals in the world. They inhabit environments from the deepest parts of the oceans up to the highest mountains.

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.Bulk‐ and eDNA‐metabarcoding were compared across 50 groundwater sites (monitoring wells, springs, hydrants) to assess invertebrate communities. Both recovered different community structures with limited overlap (13.8% OTUs); eDNA was dominated by non‐stygobionts, and bulk samples by stygobionts.

Aquatic tardigrades in Poland – a review
Limnological Review, 2021 The diversity, distribution and ecology of aquatic Tardigrada in Poland remain poorly known. We reviewed the literature focused on tardigrades in Poland and recognized only 15 aquatic taxa which were reported from various freshwater and marine habitats ...

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Microbial communities entering wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) through untreated sewage represent an important interface between human, environmental, and treatment‐associated microbiomes, yet our understanding of their biogeography remains poorly resolved, particularly for microbial eukaryotes.

Contribution to the fresh water Tardigrada from Barentsøya, Svalbard (78°30'N)
Fauna Norvegica, 1991 Fifteen species and one subspecies of Tardigrada were found in the littoral zone of 18 fresh water bodies on the Talaveraflya. All taxa are new records for Barentsøya; Hypsibius antarcticus and Macrobiotus dianeae were not previously reported from ...

Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow

Some aquatic Tardigrada from Bjørnøya (Svalbard)
Fauna Norvegica, 1988 Samples collected from the littoral zone of some freshwater bodies near Norskehamna, showed 8 species of Tardigrades. Of these, 7 are new records for Bjørnøya and 2 are new for Svalbard.
