Tardigrades and Microscopes [PDF]
Microscopy Today, 2003 Abstract Commonly known as 'water bears', tardigrades are a phylum of microscopic animals that can be found living on mosses and lichens all over the world. The name Tardigrada means 'slow walker' which describes their sluggish, deliberate movements. Between these slow movements and their 'teddy bear' like appearance, tardigrades are the

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Neural markers reveal a one-segmented head in tardigrades (water bears). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: While recent neuroanatomical and gene expression studies have clarified the alignment of cephalic segments in arthropods and onychophorans, the identity of head segments in tardigrades remains controversial.

An Integrated Assessment of European Soil Health and Restoration Potential
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Soils host a significant proportion of biodiversity on Earth providing ecosystem functions vital to human well‐being, making it imperative to include them and their ecological features when addressing sustainability goals. We performed a comprehensive assessment of soil health across Europe by explicitly integrating biotic and abiotic ...

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.

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.The ecological niche concept is fundamental to understanding species distributions but often overlooks the demographic processes shaping said distributions. Conversely, demographic theory has traditionally neglected how vital rates vary and covary across environments, limiting our understanding of population dynamics across species' ranges.
