Tardigrada of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China
Journal of Limnology, 2007 Relatively little is known of the Tardigrada fauna of China, and there are no previous tardigrade records for Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China's largest administrative division. Moss specimens of the Missouri Botanical Garden Herbarium (St. Louis,

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Freshwater rock pools are ephemeral and fragile habitats that support specialised animal taxa. While distributed worldwide, these habitats are usually neglected and overlooked. We used DNA metabarcoding and metaphylogeographic approaches to study inter and intraspecific tardigrade biodiversity to identify their biogeographic patterns to ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes
FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 23, Page 3417-3443, December 2025.Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT The Antarctic fairy shrimp (Branchinecta gaini) is the largest inland animal in Antarctica and a key component of its freshwater ecosystems. Despite its broad distribution, little is known about its population structure, habitat tolerance, and potential vulnerability to climate change. This study investigated the occurrence, genetic structure,

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Tardigrades, commonly known as some of the toughest organisms on Earth, like many other microscopic invertebrates, are often overlooked in biodiversity monitoring. Our study aimed to elucidate the impact of environmental disturbance caused by anthropogenic activity on tardigrade diversity and distributions.

Limno-terrestrial Tardigrada of the Nearctic Realm
Journal of Limnology, 2007 We examined all available records of limno-terrestrial tardigrade distribution in the Nearctic realm (Greenland, Canada, Alaska, the continental United States of America, and northern Mexico), both to compare this fauna with other realms and to ...

Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

The architecture of the nervous system of Echiniscus testudo (Echiniscoidea, Heterotardigrada)
Journal of Limnology, 2013 Despite the fact that there are several descriptions of the nervous system of Tardigrada there is still dispute about how to interpret the organisation of these structures.
