Negative impact of freeze–thaw cycles on the survival of tardigrades
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Global warming effects in temperate and polar regions include higher average temperatures and a decrease in snow cover, which together lead to an increase in the number of freeze–thaw cycles (FTC).

Integrative description of Macrobiotus canaricus sp. nov. with notes on M. recens (Eutardigrada: Macrobiotidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Taxonomy, 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 ...

Occurrence of tardigrades and morphometric and chemical conditions in rock pools by the Baltic Sea
Scientific Reports, 2023 Rock pools are eroded depressions in bedrock providing temporary aquatic habitats with varying morphometric and chemical conditions. Tardigrades have adapted to many habitats with varying and extreme abiotic conditions, including desiccation, but their ...

A sustainable culture of tardigrades (Hypsibius dujardini) for astrobiological laboratory activities [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Tardigrades are microscopic organisms that have gained importance in astrobiology in recent years. They have extreme survival ability and can enter into a state of latency for several years called cryptobiosis.
