Limnological Review, 2021 Tardigrades (phylum Tardigrada) are aquatic microecdysozoans that have adapted to survive extreme conditions through the formation of cysts or ametabolic tuns. Their body is covered by a cuticle that plays an important role in their life cycle, including

PLoS ONE, 2023 Anhydrobiosis is a desiccation tolerance that denotes the ability to survive almost complete dehydration without sustaining damage. The knowledge on the survival capacity of various tardigrade species in anhydrobiosis is still very limited.

A tardigrade in Dominican amber [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 Tardigrades are a diverse group of charismatic microscopic invertebrates that are best known for their ability to survive extreme conditions. Despite their long evolutionary history and global distribution in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, the tardigrade fossil record is exceedingly sparse.

Fragmentation of Long Reads Enables Reliable Mitogenome Assembly From Whole-Genome Amplification Data With Pervasive Palindromic Reads. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Whole genome amplification (WGA), and in particular multiple displacement amplification (MDA), has become a key technique for genomic sequencing of microscopic organisms, yet it introduces artefacts such as palindromic (inverted chimeric) reads that may compromise downstream analyses.

Massive citizen science sampling and integrated taxonomic approach unravel Danish cryptogam-dwelling tardigrade fauna [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyTardigrade diversity and distribution are enigmatic in most parts of the globe, and only some European countries can boast of a relatively well-studied water bear fauna.

FISHing for Rickettsia in tardigrades: additional evidence for tardigrade endosymbionts
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Abstract Many ecdysozoans harbour endosymbiotic bacteria within their microbiota, and these endosymbionts can have a range of positive and negative effects on their hosts. Recent 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing studies have provided evidence for endosymbionts within the tardigrade microbiota.

A tale of two tardigrades [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Horizontal or lateral gene transfer (HGT) involves the transmission of genetic material between separate genomes. It is a major driver of evolutionary innovation in archaea and bacteria (1⇓⇓–4), but the role of HGT in eukaryotes, especially multicellular organisms, remains controversial.
