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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
