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.

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).

Diversity, 2023 Biogeography patterns of marine tardigrades are poorly studied. Many species of marine tardigrades are considered endemic, but this high number may be an artifact resulting from skewed knowledge about marine tardigrade diversity in different regions of ...

FISHing for Rickettsia in tardigrades: additional evidence for tardigrade endosymbionts
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023 Abstract Many ecdysozoans harbour endosymbiotic bacteria within their microbiota, and these endosymbionts can have a range of positive and negative effects on their hosts. Recent 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing studies have provided evidence for endosymbionts within the tardigrade microbiota.

Contribution to the Knowledge on Distribution of Tardigrada in Turkey
Diversity, 2020 Tardigrades have been occasionally studied in Turkey since 1973. However, species number and distribution remain poorly known. In this study, distribution of Tardigrades in the province of Karabük, which is located in northern coast (West Black Sea ...

Studia Romanica Posnaniensia, 2020 Rotifers and tardigrades, microscopic animals discovered in the 18th century, have exceptional abilities to survive in hostile conditions. Exposing them to desiccation, extreme temperatures, and vacuum, scientists wanted to determine whether these ...

Tolerance to Gamma Radiation in the Tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini from Embryo to Adult Correlate Inversely with Cellular Proliferation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Tardigrades are highly tolerant to desiccation and ionizing radiation but the mechanisms of this tolerance are not well understood. In this paper, we report studies on dose responses of adults and eggs of the tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini exposed to ...

A tale of two tardigrades [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Horizontal or lateral gene transfer (HGT) involves the transmission of genetic material between separate genomes. It is a major driver of evolutionary innovation in archaea and bacteria (1⇓⇓–4), but the role of HGT in eukaryotes, especially multicellular organisms, remains controversial.
