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

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.

A bacterial expression cloning screen reveals single-stranded DNA-binding proteins as potent desicco-protectants [PDF]
Cell ReportsSummary: Desiccation kills most cells. Some proteins have been identified to help certain cells survive desiccation, but many protein protectants are likely to be unknown.

Fibril Structure of Desiccation-Protective Tardigrade Protein CAHS-8. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglWe present the atomic structure of the fibril formed by an intrinsically disordered protein that has been shown to be responsible for remarkable environmental stress in tardigrades. X‐ray crystallography reveals a unique mechanism of fibril assembly whereby a single helix forms a stable, antiparallel coiled‐coil dimer, which then assembles into a ...

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.

First tardigrade records from San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico [PDF]
Check List, 2021 A total of 66 specimens representing four tardigrade taxa were found in 14 moss and lichen samples collected from the bark of Jeffrey’s Pine, Pinus jeffreyi Balf., in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir (Baja California, north-western ...

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.
