Macroecological and Biogeographic Patterns of Kinorhyncha in the Iberian Peninsula

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeography and macroecology aim to understand the processes that determine patterns in nature. In the marine environment, most of what we know has been documented for fish and macrobenthic organisms. As a result, this knowledge is negatively biased towards smaller benthic organisms, including meiofauna.

A phase transition modulates the protective function of a tardigrade disordered protein during desiccation

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Water is essential for active life, yet some organisms, such as tardigrades, can survive prolonged periods of drying‐induced dormancy. Cytoplasmic abundant heat‐soluble (CAHS) proteins are disordered proteins that undergo a phase transition from the solution to gel state.

Taxon‐specific BLAST percent identity thresholds for identification of unknown sequences using metabarcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2380-2394, October 2025.
Abstract The identification of organisms in environmental samples using metabarcoding relies on factors such as taxonomic assignment methods, genetic markers, reference databases and confidence thresholds for taxonomic assignment. Because lineages evolve at different rates, a global threshold (e.g.

Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1877-1949, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological diversity in mountain ecosystems has been increasingly studied over the last decade. This is also the case for mountain soils, but no study to date has provided an overall synthesis of the current state of knowledge. Here we fill this gap with a first global analysis of published research on cryptogams, microorganisms, and fauna in ...

PRELIMINARY DATA ON TARDIGRADA FROM THE ARMENIAN FORESTED AREA

Bulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
Tardigrada is a phylum that has never been studied in Armenia, along with many other arthropod groups. Our research is about terrestrial tardigrade species. This study is the first paper on tardigrades from Armenia.

The deep sea elements of the Faroe Bank tardigrade fauna with a description of two new species

Journal of Limnology, 2007
Two new marine Tardigrada species are described from the calcareous sediments at the steep slope of the Faroe Bank in the North Atlantic Ocean. Parmursa torquata sp. nov. can be distinguished mainly by small cylindrical secondary clavae, and the presence

An attempt to revisit the global biogeography of limno-terrestrial Tardigrada

Journal of Limnology, 2007
The major increase in distribution records of limno-terrestrial tardigrades over the last ten years has enabled us to reassess the global biogeography of the Tardigrada using cluster analysis, principal components analysis and parsimony analysis of ...
