New records of Mexican Tardigrada
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 In 9 moss samples collected from Mexico, 6 tardigrade species, including 4 new records for the country, were found. The new records raise the number of known Mexican water bear species to forty-one.

Desiccation tolerance mechanisms in the green lineage and beyond
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3159-3175, September 2026.Ancient origin and recurrent evolution of desiccation tolerance in the green lineage. Summary Water is essential for life on Earth, yet some plants can survive the near‐complete loss of cellular water, a trait known as desiccation tolerance. Although rare in vegetative tissues of vascular plants, desiccation tolerance is scattered across the plant ...

Journal of Limnology, 2013 Humans have had such a profound effect on global ecosystems, including biodiversity, that Anthropocene is being increasingly used as a chronological term to mark the period of greatest human impact.

The Biodiversity of Retreating Glaciers Leaves an Ecological Legacy in Emerging Soil Communities
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.We provide the first multi‐taxa assessment of biodiversity transitions across the supraglacial‐proglacial interface, using eDNA metabarcoding across five glacier systems. Recently deglaciated soils resemble supraglacial communities taxonomically and functionally, markedly for microbes and weakly for animals, with microbial similarity declining rapidly ...

Entanglement in a qubit-qubit-tardigrade system
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Quantum and biological systems are seldom discussed together as they seemingly demand opposing conditions. Life is complex, ‘hot and wet’ whereas quantum objects are small, cold and well controlled.

Biophysics of Tardigrade Survival [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2016 Tardigrades, commonly known as water bears, are microorganisms that can survive extreme conditions: temperatures from −274°C to 151°C, pressures from 0 to 6,000 atmospheres, 1,000 times more radiation than the average animal, 10 days in space and over 20 years of dehydration.

From Lawns to Wastelands: Moss Diversity Patterns Across Urban Grasslands
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, July/September 2026.Urban bryophyte diversity increases with the sand percentage in the topsoil layer and decreases with nitrogen percentage, considered indicators of soil aridity and decreases with soil fertility, respectively, and particularly for acrocarpous species. The impact of vegetation management on mosses varies according to the practices involved, with higher ...

Impacts of Land Use and Flood Regime on Zooplankton Egg Banks in a Large River Floodplain
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Zooplankton egg banks are crucial in rebuilding zooplankton populations in temporary water bodies when favourable conditions return after dry periods. However, their abundance, viability, and hatching success depend on many factors, with changes in land use and flooding regimes being potentially crucial drivers.

Epiphyte type and sampling height impact mesofauna communities in Douglas-fir trees [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Branches and boles of trees in wet forests are often carpeted with lichens and bryophytes capable of providing periodically saturated habitat suitable for microfauna, animals that include tardigrades, rotifers, nematodes, mites, and springtails. Although
