Phylogenetic and functional characterization of water bears (Tardigrada) tubulins
Scientific Reports, 2023 Tardigrades are microscopic ecdysozoans that can withstand extreme environmental conditions. Several tardigrade species undergo reversible morphological transformations and enter into cryptobiosis, which helps them to survive periods of unfavorable ...

An integrative description of a population of Mesobiotus radiatus (Pilato, Binda & Catanzaro, 1991) from Kenya [PDF]
, 2018 In a moss sample collected from Mount Kulal in Kenya, a new population of Mesobiotus radiatus was found. Given that the original description of M. radiatus was based solely on the morphology observed by light microscopy and measurements based mostly on a

Tun formation is not a prerequisite for desiccation tolerance in the marine tidal tardigrade Echiniscoides sigismundi [PDF]
, 2016 The so-called ‘tun’ state is best known from limno-terrestrial tardigrades and rotifers that rely on this compact body shape for anhydrobiotic survival.

Integrative description of Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov. with notes on M. recens (Eutardigrada : Macrobiotidae) [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper we describe Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov., a new tardigrade species of the Macrobiotus hufelandi group from the Canary Islands. Moreover, with the use of DNA sequencing, we confirm that Macrobiotus recens Cuénot, 1932 represents the ...

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.

Carbonylation accumulation of the Hypsibius exemplaris anhydrobiote reveals age-associated marks.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Together with nematodes and rotifers, tardigrade belong to micrometazoans that can cope with environmental extremes such as UV and solar radiations, dehydration, supercooling or overheating.
