Anhydrobiosis: the extreme limit of desiccation tolerance [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007 Extreme habitats give rise to strong stressors that lead organisms to die or to possess specific adaptations to those stressors. One of the most widespread adaptations is quiescence, a common term for several strategies, including anhydrobiosis, a highly

Microsco-pi: a novel and inexpensive way of merging biology and IT [PDF]
, 2016 It is well known that schools and colleges often have budget limitations that can hamper the effectiveness of practical education. This article looks at how cheap, off-the-shelf components can be used to produce a simple DIY digital microscope, and how ...

Differing preferences of Antarctic soil nematodes for microbial prey [PDF]
, 2004 We tested the preferences of three nematode taxa, Geomonhystera villosa, Plectus spp. and Teratocephalus spp., extracted from moss at Signy Island in the Maritime Antarctic, for two microalgae, three microfungi and six heterotrophic bacteria, each also ...

Metabolite phosphatase from anhydrobiotic tardigrades
The FEBS JournalTerrestrial organisms have systems to escape from desiccation stresses. For example, tardigrades (also known as water bears) can survive severe dried and other extreme environments by anhydrobiosis. Although their extraordinary ability has enchanted people, little is known about the detailed molecular mechanisms of anhydrobiosis ...

Application of Autofluorescence for Confocal Microscopy to Aid in Archaeoparasitological Analyses [PDF]
, 2019 Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to examine archaeoparasitological specimens from coprolites associated with La Cueva de los Muertos Chiquitos (CMC) located near present-day Durango, Mexico.

Ecdysteroid-dependent molting in tardigrades
Current BiologyAbstractMolting 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.

First report of limno-terrestrial tardigrades from the Maltese archipelago [PDF]
, 2017 The first study on the limno-terrestrial tardigrade species from Malta and Gozo was carried out. Material was based on both old collections collected in 1977 and on recently collected material.

Possible roles of CAHS proteins from Tardigrade in osmotic stress tolerance in mammalian cells
Cell Structure and FunctionAnhydrobiosis, a phenomenon in which organisms survive extreme dehydration by entering a reversible ametabolic state, is a remarkable example of survival strategies. This study focuses on anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, which are known for their resilience
