Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Developments in the environmental DNA (eDNA) field have revolutionised our ability to map biodiversity by providing cost‐effective and non‐invasive means to survey organisms across the tree of life. In the terrestrial realm, a variety of eDNA sources have been employed, but we lack easily accessible and cosmopolitan sources of terrestrial eDNA.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Epilithic biofilms along a latitudinal gradient of Arctic/alpine lakes and streams were analysed for their composition of algae (incl. cyanobacteria) and meiofaunal assemblages and correlated these with environmental variables. The composition of algal, meiofauna and nematode assemblages differed between lakes and streams.

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 ...

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.

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,

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.

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.
