Evidence of avian-mediated long distance dispersal in American tardigrades [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Terrestrial tardigrades, commonly known as “water bears”, are part of a phylum of microscopic, aquatic invertebrates famous for cryptobiosis and space travel, but little is known about their modes of dispersal on Earth.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Dispersal abilities in animals contribute to their local genetic variability and species persistence. However, the mechanisms facilitating a short-distance migration of small organisms remain underexplored. In this study we experimentally tested the role

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Even for tardigrades, often called the toughest animals on Earth, a hypomagnetic field (HMF) is an extreme environment. However, studies on the effect of HMF on tardigrades and other invertebrates are scarce.

Animals, 2022 A new tardigrade species of the genus Macrobiotus C.A.S. Schultze, 1834 from Kyrgyzstan, is described and illustrated in this paper. Macrobiotus rebecchii sp. nov.

Antioxidant Response during the Kinetics of Anhydrobiosis in Two Eutardigrade Species
Life, 2022 Anhydrobiosis, a peculiar adaptive strategy existing in nature, is a reversible capability of organisms to tolerate a severe loss of their body water when their surrounding habitat is drying out.

Diversity, 2022 Anhydrobiosis is induced by loss of water and indicates dehydration tolerance. Survival of dehydration is possible through changes at different levels of organism organization, including a remarkable reduction in metabolic activity at the cellular level.

Journal of Limnology, 2013 Tardigrades are known for being resistant to extreme conditions, including tolerance to ionising and UV radiation in both the hydrated and the dehydrated state. It is known that these factors may cause damage to DNA.

Microinjection of dsRNA in Tardigrades [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2018 Classical genetic analysis in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris is a challenge because these animals are parthenogens. The publication of the H. exemplaris genome has facilitated the study of targeted genes by RNA interference (RNAi), a robust mechanism to disrupt gene function. This protocol describes microinjection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022 Tardigrades reports from British Columbia (Canada) trace back to 1908 and numerous species have been recorded from this region, despite the relatively few published sampling studies.
