Transcriptome survey of the anhydrobiotic tardigrade Milnesium tardigradum in comparison with Hypsibius dujardini and Richtersius coronifer

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background The phenomenon of desiccation tolerance, also called anhydrobiosis, involves the ability of an organism to survive the loss of almost all cellular water without sustaining irreversible damage.

Tardigrada of Ireland: a review of records and an updated checklist of species including a new addition to the Irish fauna

ZooKeys, 2016
The phylum Tardigrada was not recorded in Ireland until the Clare Island Survey of 1909–1911, with only rare subsequent reports on Irish tardigrade species. In recent decades, significant taxonomic revision has occurred within Tardigrada.

Experiences with dormancy in tardigrades

Journal of Limnology, 2004
Tardigrades often colonise extreme habitats, in which they survive using both types of dormancy: quiescence and diapause. Together with nematodes and bdelloid rotifers, tardigrades are known to enter quiescence (with several forms of cryptobiosis: anhydrobiosis, cryobiosis, anoxybiosis, osmobiosis) at any stage of their life cycle, from egg to adult ...

Ecdysteroid-dependent molting in tardigrades

Current Biology
Abstract Molting is a defining feature of the most species-rich animal taxa, the Ecdysozoa, including arthropods, tardigrades, nematodes, and others. In pancrustaceans, such as insects and decapods, molting is regulated by the ecdysteroid (Ecd) hormone and its downstream cascade.

Taxonomic survey and DNA barcode library of tardigrades from alpine fens in northwestern Italy

Journal of Limnology
Peatlands and peat-like habitats are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to climate change. Owing to their specific microclimatic conditions, which maintain high and stable moisture levels, they host assemblages dominated by hydrophilous taxa ...

PRELIMINARY DATA ON TARDIGRADA FROM THE ARMENIAN FORESTED AREA

Bulletin of the Iraq Natural History Museum
Tardigrada is a phylum that has never been studied in Armenia, along with many other arthropod groups. Our research is about terrestrial tardigrade species. This study is the first paper on tardigrades from Armenia.
