Tardigrades of North America: Aquatic Tardigrades of Western Missouri, U.S.A.
Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 2018Fresh water tardigrades are an under documented group in the United States. In the 80 years since the first aquatic tardigrade was reported, there have been only 106 records across only 19 states and more than half of the 29 species have been recorded only once.

Fragmentation of Long Reads Enables Reliable Mitogenome Assembly From Whole-Genome Amplification Data With Pervasive Palindromic Reads. [PDF]
Mol Ecol ResourABSTRACT Whole genome amplification (WGA), and in particular multiple displacement amplification (MDA), has become a key technique for genomic sequencing of microscopic organisms, yet it introduces artefacts such as palindromic (inverted chimeric) reads that may compromise downstream analyses.

An experimental study on tolerance to hypoxia in tardigrades
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: Tardigrades are small aquatic invertebrates with well documented tolerance to several environmental stresses, including desiccation, low temperature, and radiation, and an ability to survive long periods in a cryptobiotic state under ...

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.

Limnological Review, 2021 Abstract 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 their response and adaptation to environmental challenges.
