Tardigrade communities in pristine, drained and restored pine mire forests [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionRestoration has become one of the key measures in improving the state of biodiversity. However, restoration outcomes are in many cases not well understood, and species communities have not been monitored long enough to determine whether they can or ...

Structural and Biochemical Characterization of an Atypical α-Carbonic Anhydrase from the Tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus [PDF]
MoleculesThe tardigrade Ramazzottius varieornatus exhibits extraordinary resilience to extreme environmental stresses, yet the functional diversity of its proteome remains largely unexplored. In this study, the structural and biochemical characterization of RvCA5,

A first look into moss living tardigrades in boreal peatlands [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTardigrades (Tardigrada) are a phylum of micrometazoans found in all biomes on Earth, but their ecology and habitat preferences remain vastly understudied.

Beyond Ubiquity: Scale-dependent patterns of tardigrade diversity on the Iztaccíhuatl volcano. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe diversity of tardigrade communities has been related with variables, such as habitat type, litter type, elevation, among others. However, the integration of variables in a multiscale context has been little explored, so this study analyzed tardigrade

Tardigrade distribution in soils of high Arctic habitats [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTardigrades are omnipresent microfauna with scarce record on their ecology in soils. Here, we investigated soil inhabiting tardigrade communities in five contrasting polar habitats, evaluating their abundance, diversity, species richness, and species ...

Expression of distal limb patterning genes in Hypsibius exemplaris indicate regionalization and suggest distal identity of tardigrade legs [PDF]
EvoDevoBackground Panarthropods, a major group of invertebrate animals comprised of arthropods, onychophorans, and tardigrades, are the only limb-bearing members of Ecdysozoa.
